Fort Hays

The city of Fort Hays was founded in 1539 to serve the nearby military fort and the totenk hunters. Since then, the settlement has boomed with they heyday of the cattle drives. In 1555, Fort Hays saw nearly 300,000 head of cattle. The cattle ship out on the railroad to Independence or are driven along to ranches in the Kabranso and Delcova Territories.
No other town can match Fort Hays' reputation as a wild, lawless cowboy heaven. Most of its permanent citizens are afraid to walk along its main street after dark. But its dens of iniquity are a welcome oasis to dusty cowboys. The Fort Hays saloons never close - drinking, gambling, sex, and the occasional shooting are the cowboy's chief amusements while in town. Around thirty to forty cowboys are killed each year in Fort Hays; Boot Hill receives the unfortunate. Vigilance committees punish the worst offenses.
The Foster brothers are the law in Fort Hays. Ronnie is the town marshal, and Gil is the county sheriff. Sid McLean is the deputy marshal. McLean's friend, the consumptive Lew Chance, spends a lot of time in Fort Hays as well, gambling and cavorting.
