ENCLAVE: TELLURIDE, CO

History
   Pre-Crash, Telluride was a small ex-silver mine town of a couple thousand artists, skiing enthusiasts,
and hippies nestled in a box canyon in the Rockies. During the Crash, the Mountain Goats, a company of
the 10th Mountain Division, US Army, retreated to the town with the refugees they were protecting.
After Gnat’s Whisper, the town realized there would be no help coming. So, permanent residents, town officials,
soldiers, tourists, and refugees came together to fortify against the stampedes of Casualties they were sure
to come. But, when trouble came, it was in the form of Raiders.
   The Raiders successfully drove the Mountain Goats out and into the mountains. The Goats took as many
civilians as they could and promised the rest they’d be back after finding reinforcements. Reinforcements
turned out to be training the civilians who retreated with them, hiring a couple Taker crews, and one long
night of stealth and assassination after months of infiltration and espionage.
   Now, Telluride is tense with divisions. Civvies who stayed during Raider rule are split between
those grateful the Goats didn’t abandon them and those resentful it took so long. Some of the Goats
sympathize while others resent the lack of gratitude. Rangers, civilians who went with the Goats, are
betwixt and between political groups, seen as ‘reservists’ by the Goats and ‘military’ by the residents
left behind.
   The original town officials were executed by the Raiders on the first day. That leaves military officers as
the only available leaders. A lot of Civvies are fearful of the black ops tactics the Goats employed and worry
they’ve traded one set of Raiders for another. The town is trying to heal these rifts by working towards
an expansion into Mountain View, their sister town on the other side of the mountain.

Defenses
   Mountain terrain surrounds the city on most sides. Colorado Route 145 from the west is the only route
in for most ground vehicles. Skilled drivers with offroad vehicles can make it to town through Imogene
Pass. Black Bear Road, with its famously difficult switchbacks, is impossible due to rockslides and
natural erosion.
   Both roads into town have walls of salvaged materials, wood, and concrete built before the Raiders
took over. While never tested against large numbers of casualties, they do the job of keeping stray Casualties
away from the town. The walls continue to be reinforced with human opposition in mind since the
Raiders were driven out.
   The Goats have several mortar emplacements and sniper’s nests protecting the entrances to town these
days. The sniper’s nests are used as training schools for marksmanship, entry into the Rangers, and
serious defense.

Competition / Other Enclaves
The two forces below are a thorn in the side of Telluride and its Takers.

Church of the Immunogenics
   A group of survivalists holed up in Mountain View who believe this is the end of days and believe it’s
their duty to eliminate casualties from the Loss.
   The Immunogenics view Immunes as “the Chosen People,” selected by God to survive the Blight. They actively
work to breed more Immune in the hopes of making the Chosen Race that will inherit the Earth after the
Blight has wiped the others out. Their leader claims to be Immune, though this isn’t known for
certain.

Delta Meadows (Delta, CO)
   The entire enclave is a feudal society, where the judiciary government seized the land surrounding the
city. The remaining judges, sheriffs, police officers, prosecutors, and the like are the new aristocracy
with everyone else relegated to serf. The police force function as the “knighthood”, enforcing the lords’
(judges, prosecutors, and other former government employees’) policies. The serfs work the surrounding
orchards and farms in exchange for food, protection, and shelter, although not always adequate amounts of
any of those.
