Edgerider Village
A rustic haven of freedom in the heart of a monster-infested wasteland.
Edgerider Village is a small, isolated settlement nestled deep within the treacherous Bone Yard, serving as the last outpost of civilization before the wilderness truly takes over. Founded by the legendary Edgeriders, a band of outlaws and freedom fighters, it acts as a sanctuary for those fleeing the tyrannical Rule of the Three Sisters. The village is defined by its rustic charm, wooden structures, and the constant vigilance required to survive against local predators and the encroaching darkness.

Lore & Background
The arrival of Fone, Phoney, and Smiley Bone marked a turning point for the village. Their presence brought both hope and danger, as they were pursued by the sinister Red Death and his army of crows. The villagers, initially wary of these strange outsiders, eventually embraced them, recognizing their potential to tip the balance against the encroaching evil. Edgerider Village became the focal point of a larger conflict, where the fate of the Bone Yard hung in the balance.
In Their Own Story
The wind howled through the hollows of the old oak trees as Fone Bone leaned against the porch railing, watching the sun dip below the jagged horizon. The village was quiet now, save for the crackling of a nearby fire and the distant hoot of an owl. He could smell the woodsmoke and the damp earth, a comforting scent that masked the underlying tension of the night. Somewhere out there, in the dark, the Crows were gathering, their eyes gleaming with malice. But here, among these people who had taken him in, he felt a strange sense of peace. For now, they held the line.
