**Dewberry** is a large town in the state of Arkansas and the main setting of *The 48th Street Fellowship.* It has a population of around 30,000 and is located around 250 miles from Little Rock. Until the events of 1987, the town was quiet and well known for very little happening there. It is a notable place in the world where the Veil between dimensions is especially thin, leading to the multi-year Dewberry WPA beginning in 1987.

Following the formation of the MacNamera Threshold, the town was evacuated and an exclusion zone set up to prevent anyone from going into the town.

## History

### 1955

At an unknown point in 1955, the St. James Institute was established to study a young boy with immense telepathic powers.

### 1968

#### November 12th

In November 1968, a young Jane Watson disappeared near the woods outside Dewberry, leading to a desperate search that almost everyone in the town participated in.

### 1987

#### October 24th

A week before Halloween '87, the Dewberry WPA began when Subject 67 contacted a monster from another dimension.

### 2012

By 2012, much of the industry has left Dewberry, transforming it into a quiet, run-down town.

#### April 11th

Almost the entire town mobilized behind the Fellowship to fight back against the Dark Lord and his legion of goblins but, following the closure of the Crack of Doom, only the Fellowship remembered the events that had occured.

### 1990

Several months after the closure of the MacNamera Portal, the flora of the Dark Dimension overgrew and invaded Dewberry. The government set up an exclusion zone managed by the FIBPP.
