Scarred Butte once flourished as a bustling trading post, drawing settlers and dreamers looking to carve out a future in the untamed West. However, the town’s fortune took a dark turn during a brutal conflict between rival factions vying for control over its resources. Skirmishes erupted frequently, decimating the population and leaving the landscape marked with the scars of battle—charred buildings and blood-stained earth became a testament to its violent history.

As the dust settled, Scarred Butte found itself abandoned and haunted, its hopeful spirit replaced by despair. Whispers of lost fortunes and vengeful ghosts captivated the few who remained, fostering a sense of unease amidst the crumbling remnants of what was once a thriving community. Today, Scarred Butte is a shadow of its former self, a place where tales of betrayal and survival linger in the winds, attracting those seeking both fortune and revenge, like Black Jack Donavan.
