Silverton Sprawl Celebrities




































So this is significant players in the Silverton area formerly the southern most part of Broken Hill now occupied by the Warlord, settlers and allied gangs. Silver City covers several fortified blocks with a larger area, the sprawl covered by watch towers, trenches, barbed wire and mines. The ruins describes the greater broken hill area to the north.

A bit on the Warlord's domain:
The warlord taxes found technology, vehicles, power cells, ancient meds, ammo, fuel, food and water. In case of tech items taken will be exchanged for a lower value item, food or other services from the warlord's business dealings in brothels, inns, bars, medics and repair shops. Common scrap is untaxed. Those operating in the Silver City sprawl are taxed 50% and many move to the ruins instead. Defence is the main service of the Warlord. Those serving the warlord or in his favour have reduced taxes of 30% or even 10% but still enforces trade of desirable special tech items for inferior ones.

Within the walled central part of silver city the population is dense and the law strict. The rest of Silveton is a semi cleared ruin where settlers are starting farms. Regular patrols, irrigation and monster hunters keep area safe but locals complain of the cost. They all fear living without the warlords army.

In the ruins of the city all kinds of monsters, maniacs and mutants roam. Settlers here tend to focus on heavy defences or secrecy like roof gardens with limited access. Silver city rangers defend any decent looking folk or innocents. The warlords army in the ruins mostly fight gangs and monsters but tolerate adventurers.

1sp to enter the gates plus submit to a tax man search 1in4 times if not citizen
Citizens pay 100sp for a year or 100gp for life with a card issued and names kept on record
Silver class citizens searched 1in6 by taxmen and are considered second class
Gold class citizens searched 1in10 by taxmen and are considered solid locals
-evaluated for citizenship over d4 weeks and awarded citizen papers by the Warlord

Laws and authorities treat visitors, silver and gold differently with unfair fines biased to the rich. A visitor harming a gold citizen will probably be executed on the spot while a gold citizen can kill a visitor. Long serving officials and veterans are rewarded with silver or gold status. Women in the town have many positions of high status and various women led groups support the warlord for this versus the wasteland scum. Many amazons serve the warlord directly.
