Ridgethorne

Anyone is free to
use Ridgethorne in rps, convictions, etc. It was created by ThatToast. Anyone
can add a business in Ridgethorne, just give a 5-6 sentence description of it.
== Overview ==
Ridgethorne is an
old-fashioned farming community, edged with city closer to Henderline. They are
the perfect example of a countryside town. They produce the majority of wheat,
corn, and other miscellaneous crops for nearby cities and the rest of Pyrrhia.
This is quite shocking, due to the small size of the town. They do so well for
a good reason: their fields are animus-touched to be able to produce twice as
many crops as a normal field could, and are able to be used year-round. There
are several large ranches around the area as well.
In the city, there
are several bakeries and food factories. This causes the city of Ridgethorne to
be known as the Fertile City, or as many dragons joke, "Paradise
City." 
However, not is all
as peaceful as it seems… there have been extremely diverse paranormal
sightings, from pre-scorching tribal horrors to more modern terrors, this town
could be called a literal ghost town.
== Location ==
Ridgethorne is
located in the forested areas near Henderline. It is mostly surrounded by
forest, although several "pathways" have been cut for roads and areas
of forest cut away for farms There is quite a large portion of forest cut away
and replaced by the smaller city part of Ridgethorne, although trees are
planted in every available space in order to provide homes for birds and other
tree-dwelling animals.
== Architecture ==
Ridgethorne consists
of mostly wood-and-brick houses, and are relatively cheap, perfect for dragons
buying their first house. The homes are considered quaint and cute, and many
smaller towns try to mimic their style of home. The skyscrapers aren't the typical
drab gray, rather covered in murals and hopeful messages from the residents.
Then, there are the
alleyways. They are covered in graffiti and paintings of the alleged monsters
that plague the residents' lives and haunt their dreams. They are dark, horrid
places where drug deals are carried out without care, dragons are mugged and murdered,
and even dark rituals are held.
== Government ==
The mayor of the
city, a MudWing-RainWing named Bottlefly, is quite laid-back, to the point
things pass right underneath his snout. He is extremely vain and will grant
anyone basically anything if they bring him enough tribute.
The police are
exactly like him. They're really only there for support.
What's really good
is the detective system. They have some of the brightest minds in Pyrrhia
working for the Ridgethorne Detective Agency, and they are mostly called upon
for the occasional murder or, more commonly, paranormal sight.
== Important Locations ==
You may not add

Scalewalker Ranch:
What appears to be a normal ranch at first, is actually a madhouse of
paranormal activity. It is named after a legend that comes from nearby Native
American-like groups of dragons, called a scalewalker. It is a type of witch
able to transform into monstrous forms of dragon-animal hybrids. Of course,
there have only been reported sightings of scalewalkers, but there is no other
place where such creatures may possibly exist. It has been the home of many
strange creature sightings, strange object sightings, and farm animals being
mauled in ways unlike any animal known to dragonkind. It is so famous that a
movie has been made based on it.
Talon Road: This is
an old countryside road, surprisingly well-paved, yet hardly anyone drives
here. Why, you ask? Well, about four in ten dragons who drive on this road end
up crashing, and two of those four dragons end up dead. Survivors report seeing
a pair of bloody, disembodied talons take the wheel of their car suddenly and
jerk it off the road into another car or a nearby tree. All dragons who were
killed end up with a bloody talonprint on their neck, which seems to be acidic
and burns away the scales, scarring the dead dragon.
Vine Forest: At
first glance, this massive forest seems almost perfect. It appears to be
teeming with wildlife, the perfect place to go camping on a cool fall night.
Almost… too perfect. As soon as you enter the forest, it is dead silent, except
for your talonsteps. The light is almost completely blocked out by the dense
trees. As you go deeper into the forest, you begin to see dragon skeletons
littered about the ground, some hanging from trees by nooses. This, sadly, is
the number one place in the eastern part of Pyrrhia for dragons to take their
lives. Most dragons are found dead by hanging. Nobody knows why dragons choose
to come to such an otherwise beautiful place to commit suicide.
Fourbranch Triangle:
This is a triangle with the Scalewalker Ranch, Slowtown Bakery, and Ridgethorne
Detective Agency main base as its corners. In the dead center lies a small
swampy area, home to the widest variety of paranormal sightings.
== Organizations ==
You are free to make
anything under this category!
Slowtown Bakery:
this is one of Pyrrhia's most productive family-owned bakeries, and they make
everything, even the sugar, from scratch. No box-mixes allowed here! Their
motto is "Fresh from the earth, straight to your home." Of course,
most of their delicious treats don't make it back to dragons' houses, they're
eaten so fast. It is located closest to the forest out of all the city
buildings.
Ridgethorne
Detective Agency: A large two-story wooden building, this houses the brightest
minds in eastern Pyrrhia. They work on murder cases and try to scientifically
explain paranormal sightings
