Border Town

**Border Town** is a settlement located in the Dune region. It is led by Sorsby.

## In-game description

Mayor: Sorsby

Border Town is the earliest settlement in the Dune zone. As the biggest settlement, it rules the surrounding five villages (Cactus, Tucker, Baisha, Sarah, and SanXing). With the increase in local power, Border Town was unsurprisingly taken over. The original mayor, Old Jack, was forced to leave, and led his followers to establish Cactus Village. Since Sorsby came here, those who resisted were suppressed by military force. However, the Hyena Gang suddenly appeared a few years ago. They secretly kept in touch with all villages, and due to Sorsby's inaction, The Hyena Gang gradually became stronger and stronger.
