Black Dawn
Map of Arkansas
Black Dawn was once called Newport and is in Arkansas on Earth. Mayor and Sheriff of Newport
Karl White Glitter Boy - runs day to day operations of the town and in charge of security, reports to Lord Coake.
The town of Newport is where the Black Company first gathered and formed as a team. While there they saved the town in what is now referred to as The Battle of Newport’s Black Dawn.
The town was rebuilt, stronger than before. Statues of the members of the Black Company were built as a testament to the town’s thanks.
The town is protected by reinforced walls around it. Karl White is a Glitter Boy pilot who protects the town. There are a dozen bots that patrol the outskirts of town (found in a bunker under the town and reprogrammed). A citizen militia of volunteers was trained by the Black Company and use weapons from the bunker).
Newport has all the typical shops and such that a post apocalyptic town has with a population of roughly a thousand mixed peoples, human and D-Bee’s. The newest addition to the town, other than the fortified wall around it, is a Titan Robotics storefront. Agent Valentine, a human female who helped the AotBC conquer Fissure in a Mass Battle has set up shop here and is assisting the town with weapons and gear.
Newport is located at a crossroads and is a frequent rest stop. Both over land and being built on the river, travelers arrive by land and water.
The pre-Rifts bunker (small NEMA cache) is accessed by a lift inside the Mayor’s office.
The Black Company is always welcome here and when in town often visits the bar and grill call Moderation.
Post Battle of Fissure there are roughly 200 mercenaries stationed here (AotBC).
In the general area, the most powerful group is the CS Fort Eldorado city-state and then Black Dawn. This is because the Legion and Castle Refuge are gone. A little north east is Whykin and Kingsdale (both are more powerful than the three).
Lord Coake has moved his primary base of operations to Black Dawn and has on average a hundred Cyber Knights in the area. With the Legion gone he is working out of the town as a show of force in the area.
Any future Adventure that takes place in Black Dawn will be played in this thread.

So I was looking over the Info Threads. I believe this one (viewtopic.php?p=81829#p81829) should include a mention of the 'slumbering' zombie army in the cemetery that got sent back to Black Dawn with instructions to protect the town if called upon. They are likely to be a surprise to anyone who is expecting only traditional 'heroic' defenders, after all. "Wait, the good guys get to use undead, too? That's not fair!"
