Pueblo

"'The day we march across the Arkansas steadily approaches. Rocky Cove will fall, and Pueblo will be ours.' ~ Unidentified Suntop member."Pueblo is a settlement built upon the remains of the city of Pueblo, Colorado. It is currently being fought for by two major factions, the Suntops and the Hope Eternal, and many smaller Raider war bands.

Structure
The remnants of pre-war Pueblo are mostly in tact, save for some buildings unfortunate enough to have fallen victim to age. There are two areas of importance in Pueblo, both separated from each other by the Arkansas River. The parts of the city north of the river are claimed by the Cold Eternal while the southern areas belong to the Suntops. The Hope Eternal have taken to barricading areas of the city they inhabit, whereas the Suntops mostly don't, save for the Pueblo community college.

Power to the city is controlled by the nearby Pueblo dam which has been continuously running since the bombs have fell. However, the mechanical foundations of the dam are beginning to show their age. Soon, if the war is not settled and the dam is not tended to, Pueblo will flood. However, the dam's current owners, the Hope Eternal, don't have the knowledge to repair the dam nor do they intend to let the Suntops step into their territory.

Inhabitants
While the Suntops and the Hope Eternal and their respective peoples both reside in southern and northern Pueblo, there are portions of the city still inhabited by small raider tribes and simple scavenger parties. The total number of people inside the city of Pueblo is around sixty-to-seventy thousand people when taking into account the massive numbers the Suntops and the Hope Eternal both bring in and the smaller tribes and societies within the city.

Trade
Trade is tricky business for some in Pueblo. The Hope Eternal have it rather simple, as they have a direct route to Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins, but they generally do not need much as they're well armed from the Pueblo Army Depot and Pueblo's memorial airport. The Suntops, however, are lacking in the trade department. Their only real source of trade is from the settlement of Santa Fe, but traders from there come rarely as the Lucky 25 is actually very dangerous to travel on.
