Description
Keepers of The Peace
Welcome to Griggsby Station, a sleepy frontier town deep in the heart of the Carthagian Badlands. Known as "The Griggs" by locals, the town serves both as a stopover on the Sovereign airship route connecting Capitol City with Restoration Point and a transfer point for travelers continuing north by rail towards the Northern Marches. On any given day, it is common to see haughty Sovereign royalty, savage barbarians, uniformed airship crewmen, exotic Achaemeni Corsairs, wily sky pirates, red fez-wearing members of the Order of The Crimson Meridian, traders, explorers, outlaws, and frontier settlers making their way through town.
The town is a Badlands crossroads of sorts and while many travelers pass through The Griggs, few stay.
Those who call Griggsby Station home are true Badlanders -- courageous, adventurous types who carve out a living from the harsh, unforgiving environment. People like Marshal Ennaya T'wayh and her deputy, Perceval Farraday, Airship Captain Olivia Trensch and her first mate, Clive, and Mekka Clan Third Degree Fixer, Djinn.
Healthy commerce and a unilateral non-aggression pact negotiated by the region's Tribes and Settlements Council helps keep the peace in Griggsby Station, with some assistance from Marshal Ennaya T'wayh. She and her deputy, Perceval Farraday, ensure the streets of the town are mostly quiet and somewhat orderly. In a place like Griggsby Station, maintaining order takes constant vigilance, a healthy work ethic, a keen understanding of human nature, lightning fast reflexes, and marksman-like aim.
Marshal T'wayh is a pragmatic, straightforward, no-nonsense Officer of The Peace. Charged with keeping Griggsby Station safe for its residents and the thousands of visitors who are passing through on their way to somewhere else, the Marshal and her Deputy are the sole proprietors of law and order in the area. Together, the tackle everything from the mundane fist fight to armed robbery and grisly murders, often perpetrated by the wily Zeke Dalton and his savage Dalton Gang.
It's not a life someone would choose. But, like many in the Griggsby Station, the Marshal has a past she would like to forget. So, taking up the mantle and badge of an Officer of the Peace is her way of atoning for her dark past.
