It's the classic story of outlaws and a town.

The town itself is very reminiscent of an old western sort of idea. There's farms along the outside, a long main road with everything on it, etc.

The Ice mines are to the north of the town and the road there usually crosses a bridge over a small ravine. This is the point of greatest contention between outlaw and town because it's the only bridge as of right now.

Feel free to ask questions and we can figure everything else out together!

It does refer to the current standings, yup! So we are playing right into the middle of it, no need to worry about where it started (tbh, most of the characters won't even really know when/where it started, they just know that it's happening still)

because the ice is vital for life and if you control that, you also get rich. ... or free stuff to "Trade" for.
