As one of the oldest towns in the U.S. it is expected to have quite the history. In fact, it's been rebuilt so many times, that no one can really pinpoint when the area was first settled. All that anyone really knows is that the soil has been soaked in blood. War has demolished the town as well as plenty of insanity running amok. It seems likely that the land might have been used as a mass grave sight at least once.
Be wary upon entering. Keep a close eye on those you hold dear and your sanity. You will find both more precious than you could have thought after long in this town. Good luck during your time here in Immortal, you will most certainly need it.
