Eureka

It is 1911 in Eureka, a port city on the Pacific coast of Northern California. The United States is beginning to incorporate the scientific advances of Testla, Curie, and Einstein while taking advantages of the inventions of Edison, Bell, and Diesel. It is a time of growing wealth and industrialization on the West coast. People are moving out of the country into towns and cities to work in factories and send their children to school.

By 1911 Eureka is a boom town with a philosophical institute and thriving industrial sectors.

[Many aspects of Obsidian Reign are derived from Deadlands, but Eureka is placed several decades later when civilization has finally reached the West coast.]
