The Coast Roads

coastroad

Nobody comes to Ohto County intentionally. Instead, those who become a part of Ohto County are those who lose their way, and simply find themselves upon the Coast Roads. The Coast Roads are dry and disused, dotted by dilapidated road signs and stained with salt spray where the road cuts against the water’s edge. The roads twist and turn, butting against rocky escarpments and pebble beaches strewn with corpse-like driftwood. Woodlands filled with desiccated tree trunks and wind tortured arbutus and cedar trees border the Coast Roads on the inland side as the road serpentines through the empty landscape.

Sea spray and early morning mist and fog roll across the coast roads. One always seems to end up upon the Coast Roads during early morning or bloody red dusk. Winds roll in off the waters strong enough to push cars. The Coast Roads sit silent, not even the calls of crows break the silence.

The Coast Roads feel less like the entrance to Ohto County, and more like the jaws of a rusty bear trap- waiting to snap closed upon the unwary.

A Message for New Arrivals

You stand here in the fictional ocean mists of the Coast Roads. And you are no doubt wondering what you should do now. The previous page made a lot of big claims. So now I must make good on those claims. So here goes. At this stage in the game (and everything is a game, just as everything is a story) I recommend that you look around the Map of Ohto County. Get a feel for the districts and dirt roads.

Ohto County is divided into a pair of broad categories: the Ohto Lowlands and the Elder Warrens. Within those two larger regions are a total of three smaller districts: The Karhu Delta Region, The Katketty River Region, and The Lesser Hirvi Mountain Regional Park.

The Karhu Delta Region is the most populace region of Ohto County, containing the town of New Vaarashire, in addition to the Broken Coast. The locals of New Vaarashire see themselves as the true people of Ohto County and as keepers of the history of the valley. The Katketty River Region is the disreputable impoverished region of Ohto County. The residents of the Katketty see themselves as the unappreciated backbone of Ohto County who hold New Varrashire together despite the laziness of the townsfolk who live there. The Lesser Hirvi Mountain Regional Park is the rural boondocks of Ohto County. The Hirvi folk distrust the Katketty folk and the New Vaarashire townsfolk and each other. People don’t move to the Lesser Hirvi, they retreat their with guns drawn against a world they mistrust.
