The ground evened out, the scrappy brush of the Montana badlands replaced by the thin forests of its western highlands, where it met the Rocky Mountains. It was there they spotted Hell. It. Was... Boring.

A smattering of trees encircled a city that wasn't much more than a few blocks, no building taller than six stories. The tallest building was a Catholic cathedral, and even with it's Gothic Rivalism and twin spires it didn't reach higher than a couple hundred feet. Most of the buildings were composed of brown brick, and the highway curved through the center of it, the same highway that would take them to the Royal Wasteland if they followed it far enough.

Beyond it, they could see ground grow overwhelming level, almost artificially so, and that continued into the distance where the ground met the horizon and the mountains rose in the sky.

The light was grey and uneven, clouds having gathered in the sky. It began to drizzle, the water hitting their power armor with soft pink!s

"Don't look so bad." Josey commented. They couldn't see any giant spiders or signs of giant spiders. In fact, the entire city looked deserted.

The most haunting part of it was the cathedral. Over time, it's red tiled roof had faded to a sad crimson, its tan walls to a soggy brown. Every stained glass window was shattered, one of the spires had collapsed. The last symbol of Christ on it was a lone crucifix, affixed upright on the remaining spire. Even it seemed to be ready to break off at any moment.

They walked along the gravel trail, a stream bubbled to their left. The trail bent and through the trees they saw it.



Fallingwater. The 1935 masterpiece by Frank Lloyd Wright. A summer home built for an overly wealthy family, remarkable for it's imaginative and innovative design. It was ventilated using the natural currents of the wind, and the house wrapped around the tree for its central support. The core of the tree had rotted away long, long ago, but had been later reinforced.
