Rustwood
"I remember when Rustwood was still thrivin'. Bimmsley was walking around in his overalls that were a size too big and he was the most darling thing..."Rustwood is a ghost town in Central Prostesa. Though it was once a bustling settlement designed for logging, it has since been left to ruin after the East-West War of Unis concluded. The most prominent families there were the Bimmfords and Bladedrafts who had been close friends with one another until the rise of the Ornlex. Even in its ruined state, however, it attracts a lot of attention from tourists who are curious about its origins or are familiar with the East-West War. It’s said that one can hear cackling from somewhere in the town, but it’s unknown who it belongs to. Rustwood got its name because its reddish-brown trees looked like they were covered in rust. All of the buildings in Rustwood were made out of this reddish-brown bark without a hint of metal. In fact, while other settlements were incorporating metal into their buildings for added structure, Rustwood stuck to its guns much like Stoldrain and used wood to build everything. Because of this, Rustwood was perhaps one of the cleanest and most picturesque locations in Central Prostesa. Those that are old enough to have once lived there remember its peaceful atmosphere. Rustwood was just small enough for everyone to know everyone else and treat each other like family. If one person had a birthday, everyone in town would go to that person’s birthday and hand out gifts. In a way, Rustwood was just one giant family torn apart by a war nobody wanted to be a part of, and the repercussions of said war can be seen rippling across both family lines. One that is all but erased and the other that fled to Illwurn to start a new chapter on life.
