You've heard grim stories of the frontier in the west. Pale gunmen, literal ghost towns, sirens luring folk out into the sand, and preachers wrestling with demons both moral and literal. Still, everybody aboard this train has their reasons for going, and you're no exception. But take heed, dying is easy out on the Frontier. Staying dead is the hard part.
