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.

The farms on both sides of the political border grow all the food and products that feed Border Town and Kashkun.
Border Town has been a trading center for decades, and has been a refuge point during the many wars. This year, it is a new home for many people who were forced to flee Kerning City.

The Sasko presence is indicated by the many Yellow flags that are hoisted on poles around town. The flags also alert outsiders that they are at the edge of Kashkun, but many people see them as warning signs; that they are closed to the land that is not shielded by the electromagnetic field nor the Ozone layer, and they are fully exposed to the dangerous radiation.
An advanced weather station, located in the north west corner of Border Town, is constantly examining the sky 24 hours a day; monitoring air pressures, temperatures, wind speeds, magnetic fluctuations, and solar radiation such as UV, gamma rays, and X-rays, and particles emitted from the Sun
While Sasko people have nothing to worry about, the non-Sasko; who’s bodies aren’t genetically adapted to the harsh enviornment of NSK, benefit quite well from announcements and warnings issued by the weather station.
during the summer days especially, when the sky is clear, people are always advised to cover up from head to toe to protect themselves from the harsh sunlight.

Most of the buildings in Border Town are built to the Quonset design. These half-cylinder type structures are made from metal alloys that can block dangerous radiation.
