Border Town is one of the hundreds of frontier cities, towns and villages that are located on New Saskatchewan’s borders. It is the last stop before trekking into the Great Unknown. Seen on a map, Border Town sits right on the political border between Kaskkun and New Saskatchewan. However, because the town is located past Purpell Ridge, the assumed border, Border Town is home to more Sasko people even though much of the town is in Kashkun.
To the south is Purpell Ridge, a line of hills covered by a forest of red crystal-like alien plants towering 8 to 15 feet high.
Biologists from all over the SEA Lands came here to study the alien plants and confirmed their growth is caused by the solar and cosmic radiation affecting the chemicals and proteins in the plants. Another factor is that the plants were also affected by powerful magnetic influences as the EM barrier passes right along the ridge.
To the south past Purpell Ridge are the barren mountains that grow only mosses and grasses, and nothing weird beyond that. The limit of the wierd plants or the ridge has always been viewed as the actual border by the Sasko people. read more
