Calico

Calico, like so many of the dwindling towns of the Delcova Territory, has an uncertain future. It is a dusty collection of buildings that almost became a real town - if only history had been kinder to it.
==Origin==
In 1517 a prospector by the name of Evan Smalley was passing through the area (avoiding a group of bounty hunters on his trail, so the story goes) when his horse, tired of being gouged by spurs, threw him then galloped out of sight.
For the next several hours Smalley sat in the sparse shade of a large rock, wrapping three broken ribs and cursing the animal that had betrayed bim. When a
pair of vultures perched nearby, anticipating an easy meal, Jake picked up a rock and was about to toss it at one of the scavengers when he froze. There in his clenched fist was the glint of gold.
When Smalley eventually made it out of the desert, news of his discovery soon had folks flocking to the dry gulch to stake their claim. Unfortunately, just as the town was booming and rising up from the earth, the gold boom went bust. As it turned out, Smalley's gold was from the tailings of an old Aveiran mine abandoned several hundred years before.
