Laramie Point, once one of the premier tourist-traps of the Vermillion Bay area founded following the end of the American Civil War and the bitter defeat of the Confederate States of America as a town of rich southern and northern families to congregate in, now stands as a ruined husk devoid of almost all sentient-life; besides that of the Water Tribal tribes of the Silver Fins and the River Men, plus their hangers on, locked in bitter combat over control of this particularly large stretch of Louisiana coastal-land; the few non-tribal elements looking to become involvde in the town, namely smugglers from Ewing Bay, have suffered bitter defeats throughout their numerous attempts to take control of the town, but still plot to continue with an assimilation of the town regardless.
