Overview
Willow Creek is slowly becoming a verdant enclave on the outside of the sprawling metropolis of Enigma Core. Its lush greenery, and winding pathways amidst ruins of an outdated infrastructure, allow for a gentle murmur of water to run through reclaimed tarmac streets.
However, Willow Creek's largely abandoned buildings are plagued by sinister forces. Mysterious anomalies plague the district, preventing large-scale construction projects from taking place. The anomaly fields are believed to be the result of a past event or experiment, a corporate project, or a forgotten government experiment gone awry.
The remote location of Willow Creek has led to its isolation and decay. The few liveable areas have limited essential services, and the infrastructure is deteriorating. Despite these challenges, Willow Creek remains a refuge for those seeking salvation and escape from Enigma Core's hectic lifestyle.
The district's isolation has also made it a target for criminal elements. Illegal activities such as drug trafficking, smuggling, or even human trafficking are more prevalent in Willow Creek due to its lack of law enforcement presence.
The residents of Willow Creek are a resilient bunch, determined to protect their beloved heritage. They have formed local militias or resistance groups to defend the district from malignant forces; both foreign and regional.
