- #1Stillwater
Keys: settlement, town, Stillwater
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Stillwater, Texas (est. 1862) is a bustling paradox of faded grandeur and stubborn vice. Population 514. Built during the oil rush that never was, its false-front buildings now house more working girls than working derricks. The sheriff's office shares the main street with three establishments selling sin at different price points—The Black Gold saloon (mid-range), The Saddle Shiner (cheap whores), and The Velvet Rose (high-end bordello). Wealth clings to ranchers and the occasional railroad scout passing through. Cotton gins hum east of town while Comanche war parties raid unchecked west of the Pecos.
- #2The Velvet Rose Brothel
Keys: Velvet Rose, high-end brothel, Eliza, fancy whorehouse
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Eliza Rose Tyler's crimson-painted establishment boasts real glass windows and Parisian perfumes scenting the air. The mahogany bar stocks French cognacs few can afford, while girls in corsets whisper promises in English, Spanish, and Comanche. Behind gilt doors, the 'International Suites' offer opium pipes beside the beds and copper tubs for shared bathing - luxuries wasted on a town where most men blow their wages at the Saddle Shiner's glory holes. Eliza's last innovation was a 'Tasting Menu' - five girls for five minutes each at discount rates - but even desperation wears satin gloves here.
- #3The Saddle Shiner
Keys: whorehouse, Saddle Shiner, Hardwood, buck for a fuck, cheap fuck
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Jonathan Hardwood's Saddle Shiner reeks of sweat, coal oil, and last week's sperm. The 'glory holes' (knocked-through boarding house walls) let men finish before their next shift at the rail yards. No Southern belle airs here—girls call customers 'daddy' while counting ceiling cracks. The Saddle Shiner's glory holes have swallows carved around them—Jonathan Hardwood's crude joke about 'bird hunting.' No curtains separate the cots where $1 buys four minutes with a sweating girl. Hardwood's 'No Injuns' policy breaks only when drunk cowboys demand Navajo squaws. The place reeks of lye soap and regret. Most girls are runaways or orphans; the prettier ones graduate to The Black Gold's bar after Hardwood takes his 'training fee.' Sheriff lets it slide—half his paycheck gets spent here on Tuesdays.
- #4Black Gold
Keys: saloon, Black Gold, Clive
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Clive Hardwood's Black Gold saloon is the town's beating heart — a place where ranch hands drink rotgut beside cattle barons sipping imported Scotch. The grand piano plays everything from Mozart to minstrel tunes depending on the crowd's mood. Hardwood's genius was the voucher system: drink enough premium liquor, get a discount at his brother's whorehouse. The back rooms host high-stakes poker games where men gamble deeds to land that might or might not have oil underneath.
- #5Grand Royal hotel
Keys: Bella, Grand Royal, hotel, British
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Bella Thorn's Grand Royal hotel serves cucumber sandwiches to men who haven't seen fresh vegetables in months. Her late husband's railroad money built six suites with copper tubs, now used mostly by cattle barons cheating on wives back in Austin. The rooftop balcony offers the only view in town clean enough to see stars through gunsmoke. Staff wear lace gloves to serve brandy that costs more than their monthly wages. Rumor says Bella takes female lovers in the west wing—untrue, but good for business.
- #6Cotton Industry
Keys: plantation, whip, cotton gin, field hands
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Stillwater's three cotton gins operate on 'contract labor'—former slaves worked dawn till dusk for room/board worse than their plantation days. Overseers carry whips but prefer using starvation as punishment. Mexican and Negro workers bunk separately; fights get settled with sledgehammers. The only integrated place in town is The Saddle Shiner's back row—where skin color matters less than coin color.
- #7Law Enforcement
Keys: sheriff, tin-star, law
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Sheriff Caleb McCord keeps order through pragmatic corruption — he looks the other way on brothel brawls but hangs horse thieves without trial. His 'tax collection' from the Black Gold and Saddle Shiner funds a deputy position that's been empty for three years. The velvet bag under his desk holds Damon Velasquez's monthly bribe to avoid Stillwater, and Randy Roy's outstanding duel fines.
- #8Nighttime Atmosphere
Keys: evening, sundown, night
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Stillwater nights hum with drunken laughter from the Black Gold and the rhythmic squeaking of Saddle Shiner's cots. The Velvet Rose's piano plays sad waltzes for no one while Bella Thorn counts silverware on the Grand Royal's porch. Somewhere beyond town limits, Damon Velasquez's gang lights a campfire with stolen banknotes, and Randy Roy seduces someone else's wife by moonlight.
- #9Religion & Hypocrisy
Keys: Sunday, church, preacher
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Stillwater's whitewashed church stands empty six days a week, then overflows with repentant sinners every Sunday morning. The same hands that beat Saddle Shiner whores on Saturday night clutch Bibles come dawn. Preacher Holloway condemns vice from the pulpit while his private ledger shows 'donations' from Clive and Jonathan Hardwood to keep their businesses exempt from moral scrutiny.
- #10Damon 'The Demon' Velasquez
Keys: Demon Velasquez, Damon, outlaw gang, Mexican bandit
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Damon 'The Demon' Velasquez leads the Red Hand Gang — Mexican bandits who specialize in ambushing payroll wagons. His signature is leaving one survivor with their tongue cut out to spread the tale. Rumor says he buys information from Saddle Shiner girls with silver dollars instead of violence, which only makes him more terrifying. The sheriff looks the other way so long as Velasquez only hits targets outside town limits. The townsfolk spread rumors that he's an actual demon, summoned from the deepest parts of mexico, a rumor that Damon gleefully enjoys spreading to aid his infamy.
- #11Randy Roy
Keys: Randy Roy, Roy boys, rustlers, cattle thieves
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
The Roy brothers run their 'maverick operation' with Bibles in their saddlebags and running irons in their bedrolls. They rebrand strays then drive them to Kansas as 'legitimate' ranchers, lynching any Mexican or freedman who witnesses the thefts. Their piety vanishes come Saturday nights when they take turns on Saddle Shiner girls - always paying extra to hit harder, laughing when the girls spit out broken teeth."
- #12Timothy 'Two-Pump' Kidd
Keys: Timothy Kidd, Two-Pump, coward, snitch
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Timothy 'Two-Pump' Kidd got his name from both his lack of bedroom stamina and his habit of firing two warning shots before running from fights. Officially the town barber; unofficially the sheriff's paid informant. Razors are just for show—he can't shave a man without nicking him. Rats out drunks' loose talk to the highest bidder. Last year pointed Damon Velasquez toward a rancher's daughter in exchange for keeping his own sister off the Comanche slave markets.
- #13Father Abignale
Keys: collection plate, sin, preacher, offering, church, donation, Father Abignale
Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
Father Terrence Abignale's cassock smells of lavender water and the Velvet Rose's opium den. His sermons thunder against 'the harlot's plague' even as he pockets 30% of every whore's earnings as 'penance'. The church ledger shows $5,000 spent on 'missionary work' - coincidentally matching his losses at Clive's backroom poker games. When Eliza Rose threatened exposure last winter, twelve new stained glass windows appeared depicting martyred saints... funded by an anonymous 'benefactor'. The Comanche call him 'Speaking Double Tongue', their children trading imitations of his sweating face when he blesses cattle drives heading through Kwahadi territory.
