Snakewood

Snakewood is a crime-infested town from Bitter Creek.
== History ==
=== The Hartford Gang ===
Main Article: The Hartford Gang
James Hartford, alongside his dear friend "Blackheart" Smith, formed a crime organization that would later become the Hartford Gang. They ran amok throughout Snakewood and the surrounding cities of Bitter Creek, Brimstone and Staleworth.
=== The Great Fire of Snakewood ===
Snakewood, always being a town of great crime and greater corruption, caught the eye of the Eternal Flame, a cult devoted to cleansing evil from the world through fire. They set the town ablaze, killing many and leaving charred remains behind, slowly being rebuilt over time following this. This unfortunately did not quell the crime.
=== Bitter Creek Campaign ===
The party first traveled to Snakewood in pursuit of the remaining two Hartford brothers, Nick and Sooty. They eventually found Nick in the lumber mill, quickly taking him down, and upon attempting to return to Bitter Creek, were found by Sheriff Steele, who congratulated them for their work, appearing noticeably injured and disheveled. Upon being questioned, he accidentally revealed to the party his true nature as a doppelganger. Amra sympathized with him, allowing him to keep up his good work.
The party soon found Sooty inside the local mines, and through a string of unfortunate events, caused a cave-in under the mountain, killing Sooty and Moon Matt, though the latter only temporarily, and injured the other party members, except for Cody and Hamilton, who had managed to escape in time.
After Sooty's bounty was claimed, the party was approached by the mayor for help repairing the town, and also by T-Bone Stewart to aid the party with their financial problems, should they do a few jobs for him. Moon Matt stayed behind to help repair the town, with Hamilton and Amra going on a job to bust a horse breeding mill and Cody, Grey and Jonah going on a train heist.
The party largely stayed out of Snakewood for the remainder of the campaign.
