  • Castle Rock is an organized Colorado town located approximately midway between Denver and Colorado Springs. The town is traversed by I-25 and is the seat of Douglas County. Prior to the war, Castle Rock was home to approximatly 48,000 people, most of whome were employed in Denver. The current population is estimated at 9,000 people, most of whom are employed in food production or cottage industries. During the Twilight War, Castle Rock suffered from the same general economic deprivations as the rest of the United States. A brief upturn occured during late 2011, when a particularly rich vein of oil shale was discovered to the west of town. When Denver and Colorado Springs were struck by nuclear weapons, Castle Rock was spared from damage and radiation. Fallout from the Lockheed/Martin strike fell across I-25 and few refugees from Denver went south after the blasts. Most of those that did received a lethal dose of radiation and died before reaching Castle Rock, or shortly afterward. The stretch of I-25 north of Castle Rock to Denver is called "The Boneyard" by locals for the abundance of skeletal remains and rusting abandoned (and radioactive) vehicles. Despite its sheltered location, Castle Rock is still a much smaller community than it was in 2011. Starvation and accumulated radiation left the survivors with damaged immune systems. A series of outbreaks of Bubonic Plague (likely picked up from one of the many Prairie Dogs) carried away roughly half of the population and left the community reeling. Also, marauders from the ruins of Denver have struck the town repeatedly, killing many and causing considerable damage.
