Points of Interest[]

Carson City
Carson City is an American independent city and the capital of the U.S. state of Nevada. Named for famous frontiersman Kit Carson, it was founded in the year 1858. It became the state capital in 1864. Prior to 1969, Carson City was the county seat of Ormsby County. It was then merged into the Consolidated Municipality of Carson City. Most of the city proper resides in the Eagle Valley. The Carson River flows from Douglas County through the southwestern edge of both the valley and Carson City. Since the consolidation, the city limits today include several small populated areas outside of this valley. Today the city limits include several peaks in the Sierra Nevada, small portions of both the Virginia Range and the Pine Nut Mountains and portions of Marlette Lake and Lake Tahoe.
Las Vegas
Las Vegas is a city in the US state of Nevada and the most populous city in the state. It is the county seat of Clark County and is regarded as the Entertainment Capital of the World due to it's casino district and night life attractions. It's history of decadence and gambling has earned it the nickname "Sin City". Las Vegas has a citywide area of 135.8 square miles and a population of more than 583,000 people.
Perfection
Perfection is a small town in the U.S. state of Nevada. It has a population of only fourteen people. In the 1800s, the town was known as Rejection Valley. The town exists in the middle of Perfection Valley, which is an immense box canyon in the middle of the desert. Despite its isolation from the outside world, Perfection is still something of a tourist trap, owing largely to El Blanco - a massive Graboid that inhabits the tunnels underneath the town. One of the more colorful residents of the town is Burt Gummer - a survivalist who literally wrote the book on how to survive a Graboid attack. Daily tours through the deserts are provided courtesy of Tyler Reed.
Reno
Reno is a city in the northwest section of the U.S. state of Nevada, along the Nevada-California border, about 22 miles (35 km) from Lake Tahoe, known as "The Biggest Little City in the World". Known for its casino and tourism industry, Reno is the county seat and largest city of Washoe County and sits in the High Eastern Sierra foothills, in the Truckee River valley, on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada. The Reno metro area (along with the neighboring city Sparks) occupies a valley colloquially known as the Truckee Meadows, which because of large-scale investments from Greater Seattle and San Francisco Bay Area companies such as Amazon, Tesla, Panasonic, Microsoft, Apple, and Google has become a new major technology center in the United States.
Simmonsville
Simmonsville is a swatch of land located in the state of Nevada. In 1988, the US government used a swatch of desert as a testing ground for atomic weapons. The weapons triggered the doorway to another dimension – Hell. At this point in time, the Malebolgia took the stolen memories of Al Simmons and fused them with pscyhoplasm. The psychoplasm created Simmonsville based on Al’s memories. Jason Wynn had Al Simmons killed not because of professional disagreements, but because he had made a bargain with the Malebolgia. Wynn would offer the Malebolgia an expendable killer in exchange for a supply of psychoplasm.
