#location: Sweetwater Island

[aiwes-simblr]

It's not a cult if it's your Sims main Religion 👍

There's only one possible response to this ...

'Very interesting ...'

Of course, the name is taken from Germany's Osnabrück am Schwansee, but trivia fans may be interested to learn there was once an Ostbrück (Eastbridge) in the German version of the Elder Scrolls novel 'The Infernal City' by Greg Keyes. It was located just south of the lake island the Imperial City sits on, near Sardavar Leed and Sweetwater.

Will take a look at this once we've got the chance, but have to say that the 1.8 GB file attached to it alone ought to have stopped the usual suspects from auto-hitting the like button like rats looking for a food pellet and this place be properly checked out and reviewed first.

Ostbrück am Schwansee itself seems to be only 32Mb in size (the rest of the file is the merged CC required to make it look the way it does plus a saved 'starting' file) Will give this the once over when we have the chance.

"Ostbrück is a city full of history. Rich History. A total gorgeous lake, beautiful old buildings, some even leading back to medieval times. And let's not forget the mighty castle "Schloss Eisenhut" which is the citys' superstar. Ostbrück has been exisiting for a long time now and it's still shining bright to this day with many young and ambitious sims coming to this town to fullfill their lives. Oh yeah almost forgot! It's not the cheapest city!"

ITS HEREEE! After months of hard work I finally managed to create my own European world called "Ostbrück am Schwansee"! Dive into a beautiful, semi-realistic European world with dozens of historical buildings, a castle, a lake and lots of pedestrian areas. All built by me!

It's a small world with 53 lots, housing 62 Sims and features most of the rabbitholes + an university. I invested a lot of time in fixing issues, routing and so on so the world runs even with a lot of CC totally fantastic! Please please please tag me if you post screenshots when playing it! I would love to see!

How to install, populated save file and required CC is all included in the download. A huge thank you to all the amazing CC creators out here, without your creations this world wouldn't have been possible. Please make sure to check them out and support them. There is a creditlist and Links in the download!

I will keep all my creations for Sims 3 for obvious reasons for free, however creating worlds is a time consuming and sometimes harsh process with the buggyness of the game sometimes, so it would mean the world for me for some extra support :)!

If something doesnt work, please tell me and I will try to help you. Otherwise Enjoy <3

IMPERIAL CITY OF SAURODANYE

This behemoth metropolis is one of the cities of all time, maintaining relevance through millennia, it definitely deserves its Imperial title.

The city is located on three islands (two small one big tall) in the northern Imperial sea(they really liked to call everything that huh) in the Sweetwater region. The city's placement on the map makes it a perfect stop for trading ships turning towards western Sweetwater. The islands themselves are very unusual, looking from the side they appear to form a perfect curve, like a young moon.

Historically Saurodanye has been continually inhabited for something like 5000 years, there are even myths that say there was a human settlement on the islands long long ago(don't ask me how they got there).

During the explosion of the Nameless Empire the Imperator(he wasn't called that at the time) pulled off the only successful invasion of the city in recorded history, losing countless ships and troops in the process. As a victory celebration he demolished the old castle at the top of the island and built a gigantic imperial palace. Jumping 200 years ahead at the end of the Shatter it stays as the last city loyal to the now empty throne, but knowing that a new ruler won't come, it declares itself as the Saurodanyan Span at the dawn of year 0. the city didn't get away scot free though. disruption of trade routes and a (visible) lack of farmland ment years of famine and instability.

Through the following millennia while the world recovered Saurodanye slowly grew in power, buying out islands and establishing new towns, funding military campaigns and building a fleet of its own. Saurodanye often clashed with the neighboring Colonade over practically everything in the Imperial sea.

Today Saurodanye has about 1,1 million people in population, a lot of them merchants, politicians and other influential figures. The city is part of many diplomatic pacts, most important of which is the MPA (Major Powers Alliance). Saurodanye has one of the biggest trade networks, bringing in goods from Sentra, Sanstrait and even the deep Farlands.

okay, it's 23:57 and I have 5 unchecked notifications so I'm going to end it here. I hope you enjoy this entry and good night!

Map of Sloth

The Sloth Ring is the lowest and smallest ring of Hell. It is roughly divided into two hemispheres: Mania and Melancholia. The capital city, Baal, lies between the two.

City of Baal: The capital of the Sloth Ring, Baal, is located on an island between the Rose Mallow Swamp and the Swamps of Sorrow. It is a large clockwork city home to Baal's Keep, the palace of Prince Belphegor herself. Baal also houses the Baal Wellspring and the largest portal to the dream realm.

MANIA

Salvia: The largest and most populous region of Mania. Salvia is known for its mild weather and beautiful steppe landscape. Castle Sweetwater, the home of the Duke of Mania, is located in the north on the edge of the Hypnus River.

Rose Mallow Swamp: The Rose Mallow Swamp sits at the eastern border of Salvia. It is known for its diverse array of native medicinal plants.

North Mania Poppy Fields: Located in the northernmost portion of Mania, as the name suggests. It is a majority farmland, and its largest export is opium poppies.

Mount Somnus: A mountain located in the North Mania Poppy Fields. It's snowcapped year round.

Psilocin Forest: The largest forest in Mania, known for its brightly colored deciduous trees and multiple psychedelic fungus species.

Peaks of Euphoria: A mountain range within the Psilocin Forest. These mountains were once mined for their precious metals and gemstones, but have since run dry.

South Mania Saltwater Marsh: The southernmost region of Mania is comprised of coastal marshland. It is the least populated region of Mania due to its high temperatures and humidity. The local economy is based in seafood exports.

MELANCHOLIA

Maeror: Maeror is the largest region of Melancholia. The southern half of Maeror is a temperate deciduous forest while the northern half is a colder coniferous forest. It is most well known for it's mega fauna. Fort Yew, home of the Duchess of Melancholia, lies in the north.

Behemoth's Claws: A mountain range in southern Maeror. These incredibly tall peaks are known as the coldest and most inhospitable part of Sloth.

Swamps of Sorrow: A large swampland that covers the southern border of Maeror. Its quicksand pits have been known to suck down animals and people alike. Despite this, the region has a decent population of farms who use these quicksand pits as a source of fertilizer.

Weeping Woods: The Weeping Woods is a region in southern Melancholia known for its beautiful weeping willow trees which grow along the bank of the Cocytus River. Despite the name, the Weeping Woods is a very lovely place to live.

Fields of Dementia: The Fields of Dementia lie to the east of the Weeping Woods. This region is highly industrialized with an economy focused of drug production. It us most well known for it's benzodiazepines.

Mors: Mors is a large island separated from the mainland by the Strait of Acheron. Mors is also the name of middle region of this island. It is the most densely populated region in Melancholia.

Salt Pits: The Salt Pits lie on the northern coast of Mors. It is a cold saltwater marsh known for its many tide pools.

Leaping Cliffs: A rocky highland in northern Mors. Named for its unfortunate reputation as a site where many people have died.

Willow Bark Grove: A deciduous forest in southern Mors. Known for its herbal tea production, including the famous willow bark tea it's named for.

Merihem's Pit: A deep pit in the Sea of Melancholia where the demon Merihem is chained.

BODIES OF WATER

Sea of Mania: Known for it's diverse and beautiful coral reefs. Mania Cruises, based in Salvia, run cruises, snorkeling, scuba diving, and other similar events throughout the summer. Hellborn demons from all over Hell visit for these events, especially the whale and dolphin watches where they may have the chance to see the famous Slothian Pink Dolphins.

Sea of Melancholia: Known for its stormy weather and dangerous sea monsters, only the most experienced sailors dare venture into these waters. Affectionately called "Lil' Envy" by many on the coast for its similarities to the Envy Eing.

Strait of Acheron: A portion of the Sea of Melancholia which passes between the mainland and Mors. Ship travel through the Strait is limited to high tide as low tide brings in a maelstrom commonly referred to as Charybdis.

Lethe River: The longest River in Sloth, the Lethe runs south from the Baal Wellspring and splits in the Lyssa and the Cocytus. The Lethe is also the slowest and smoothest flowing river.

Lyssa River: Splits off from the west side of the Lethe. It is a short, violent river with extreme rapids and many falls.

Cocytus River: Splits off from the east side of the Lethe. The Cocytus is know for producing an odd sound which some have compaired to wailing.

Hypnos River: Flows northwest from the Baal Wellspring and past Sweetwater Castle.

Erebos River: Flows north from the Baal Wellspring. The deepest river in Sloth.

(This page of notes also has some doodles in the margins as if to try to loosen up and not write awkwardly. There's a tree, a rock or something that could have been a rock if not for the sloppy handiwork, and a really amateur attempt at a wolf... which is crossed out lightly and redrawn just a bit off to the side... still not great, but better than the first attempt.)

-Bloodstone belongs to Malphas, General of Tiamat -Malphas placed it on this plane. His "Garden" of sorts. -Red's bound to water Malphas' rocks with greater demon blood (because I'm a complete idiot) -Red's research says that the MiGo are attacking the Mother Tree and that She is helping herself using the bloodstone, potentially. -Magic of this level is beyond my knowledge and it's incredibly frustrating to not be able to help Red with any of it. Especially now that Red is not on this gods forsaken island. -The MiGo are using the amber from the tree to imbue themselves with it, making themselves FAR more dangerous - Cattethi and Ping and a few others got almost trounced trying to take out one of their hives earlier -the Mitraen crusaders who are currently on the Enigma Isles are not the crusaders we expected - they have some kind of link to these shadowy bullshit things. Some have popped up where Mitraens have fallen. -Apparently there are shadow-copies of people once in a while. That sucks. I still dunno how to deal with that. Bloodstone Locations: Red's Old House, the cave beneath Himura, Sweetwater's base just north of XunSha, The Mother Tree, where Verdant dreams used to live (H6 stock map) (From discord ticket:) "What is a demon?" Demons are everything and anything, the chaotic-evil denizens of the Abyss. They are a type of fiend from the lower planes, acting as the living embodiment of ferocity, vile perversions, and chaos. Demons are creatures of unbridled rage and the physical manifestation of everything malign about chaos. There is no one type of demon. As the embodiment of malignant chaos, demons take on all forms and shapes and exist to cause chaos and destruction wherever they go. Certain types of demons are prone to certain behaviors, but they all serve to spread evil wherever they are. As extra-planar beings, demons who visit the prime can be banished, though banishment is often more difficult than simply slaying the demon, and either through banishment or destruction of their form the fiend will find itself back in the abyss until it is destroyed there.

Yes, that’s my take as well. What bugs me most is that Jubilife Village is surrounded to three sides my very mountainous terrain, which doesn’t match the wide-open north-side of Canalave. Other than that, the body of water in Jubilife Village seems to be a river rather than a fjord, seeing how it runs from the mountains towards the sea (in the most awkward way possible imo). However, nothing in Canalave points to there being sweetwater resources.

I headcanon that Jubilife Village as depicted in PLA doesn’t exist in modern Sinnoh. It used to be on the spot that’s now Route 218, with Prelude Beach making the eastern half of Canalave. But possibly due to terrain erosion (but ofc pokemon shenanigans would be way cooler), the delta of the formerly peaceful river extended southwards and threatened to swallow up Jubilife Village. The delta is what we see on Route 218 – which would also explain the many rocks and islands on this route.

At this point I also need to vent my frustration about the depiction of Jubilife Village on the official map artwork you’ve shown above. Jubilife is far from being an island, and Prelude Beach on this map is… in our memories I guess and I have spent way too long staring about the map of hisui. Anyway… Jubilife City, a relatively new city built close to Deertrack Heights or the base camp checks out in my opinion.

What we shouldn’t forget though is that Oreburgh as a location-name already existed in PLA, as does the Oreburgh tunnel. So a smaller settlement there, or at least pretty soon after the game, is very much possible. Oreburgh seems to be a very old city, and thus could reasonably have already existed when Jubilife City was built.

(I’ve always wondered where the wardens stay, and where all these little guys from the stylized Hisui map hang out, because the clan settlements are laughably small. So I headcanon a handful of similar sized settlements just outside the maps in the games.) But yes, TL;DR I agree with what sinnohdays said and needed to let off some of the research I did on hisui’s map.

What do we make of this dialogue from the original Pokemon Diamond version?

Apart from the semi migratory settlements of Diamond and Pearl clans, and the assumed settlements of the long gone ancient Celestica people(s), we know from the events of Pokemon Legends Arceus that Jubilife Village was the first known, permanent settlement established in the Hisui/Sinnoh region, and as such existed long before Oreburgh City even existed. This makes the NPC’s claim that “the people and pokemon of Oreburgh City” were involved with the creation of Jubilife City/Village completely at odds with the canon established in PLA.

This isn’t the only odd thing about the NPC’s claims. In PLA Jubilife city is established in a rather flat location, with access to the ocean, and in a position unobstructed by any mountains. We see the town two years after it has been first established, and not only are there no people of Oreburgh City to assist in carving out the mountains, there are no mountains that need carving out in the first place. Not to mention that an undertaking of that size would surely take years, especially with the technology available art the time that PLA takes place. One could make the argument that the answer is obvious, and (as stated by the NPC in the screenshots) the (non existent) people of (the non existent) Oreburgh city used Pokemon to help them carve out the mountain, but this can easily be debunked considering the fact that People and Pokemon (apart from those in the clans) rarely worked/lived with one another in the Hisui region during the time period that Jubilife village was founded. Oh, and the people of Oreburgh didn’t exist at the time of PLA.

Due to the canon established in PLA it is seemingly impossible that Jubilife village/city could have been built on land that was caved out of a mountain by the people of Oreburgh City, but is it possible that Jubilife village and Jubilife city are not one in the same? Could the original Jubilife village have been a seperate location with the modern Jubilife city being established at a later date in the manner described by the NPC? Could both realities co-exist without contradicting one another? Hmmm lets see

When comparing the map of Hisui to the map of modern Sinnoh you can see the locations of Jubilife city/village are in a similar location, yet they don’t line up completely. In the map of Hisui the location of Jubilife village is close to the coastline, with a large river running through the centre of the town. On the map of Sinnoh however Jubilife city appears to be located in a more inland position, and there isn’t any trace of the river. The Jubilife in Hisui seems to be located to the north of Lake Verity, while on the map of Sinnoh it appears to be located in a more north eastern position. In fact, using the lake for reference it could be argued that the lower section of Jubilife village may line up more accurately with the location of Canalave City in modern Sinnoh, with Jubilife City being located somewhere in Hisui’s Obsidian Fieldlands. This is interesting as Canalave has a waterway running through it similar to Jubilife village in the past, and unlike Jubilife City in the future. Additionally modern Jubilife may line up more accurately with Deertrack Heights, a mountain/hill in the centre of the fieldlands. This could indicate that Jubilife Village changes it’s name and becomes Canalave City, with Jubilife City being established at a much later date in the same manner as described by the NPC. Despite the maps not lining up completely this would be a compelling theory that would explain the discrepancy, yet this can be easily disproven.

On the offical Pokemon Legends Arceus website the flowing text can be found:

This immediately disproves the above theory as it is confirmed that Jubilife Village directly becomes the same Jubilife City as seen in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum and its remakes. This also discounts the possibility that PLA and the Gen 4 games take place in an alternate universe as it states that one directly becomes the other.

I wish I could wrap this up with a grand revelation/definitive answer, but sadly I haven’t found a reasonable explanation that could help explain the discrepancy between the NPC’s claim (that Jubilife was carved from a mountain by the people of Oreburgh City), and the events of PLA that prove this claim impossible. I mean, it’s possible he’s either lying, or is mistaken, but there is no proof of this, and it’s not a very satisfying answer. One of the most likely (and yet least satisfying explanations of all) is that this is all just a plot hole/developer mistake, or maybe even a retcon?

Regardless the NPC’s claims are an interesting discrepancy/mystery to consider. I’m interested to hear if anyone has any thoughts, additional information, or theories that could help to explain this mystery?

There are plenty of places to rent paddle boards in the Tampa Bay area, and here are some tips for buying a good board.

Paddleboard rentals come with personal floatation devices, a whistle, and a leash. Wear warm, waterproof clothing, especially if you plan on spending a lot of time in the water. Sunscreen is also a must.

First, look for a rental shop that specializes in these boards. Many of these places have rental shops, but you may want to do a little research before making your decision. The city of Tampa is full of places to rent paddle boards, and a little research will go a long way. If you’re new to the sport, the easiest place to rent paddle boards in Tampa is a river in the city’s middle.

GRAPS AND CLAPS REVIEWS - PCW 'CARD SUBJECT TO CHANGE'

Hello and welcome everyone to Part 2 of the PCW weekender this time taking me to Leeds once again, but this time to a new venue in the form of Pryzm which was once the home of True Grit Wrestling a couple of years ago. For PCW tonight it was near enough a sellout, which for a first time in a new city is excellent as there is a gap in the market in Leeds which currently has 2 prevalent promotions in Tidal who run the Temple of Boom and also RISE who are literally in their own market and fan base, which in this day and age is something that they should be proud of.

Arriving in Leeds after a detour to Manchester due to another walkout by Northern Rail which is becoming a bit of a laughing stock now, first port of call was regular haunt - Tapped to meet up with Ben and later Athers. Only one pint in here whilst I tried to wrangle getting some free Wi-Fi from a Primark nearby, that pint being a £3.90 pint of Bernard Light which as ever is a good crisp lager, due to this place being rammed we decided to move elsewhere to The Nation of Shopkeepers which is located on the way to the 02 Academy. 

One highlight of this pub is the big beer garden area with one half being heated and the other half being uncovered, thankfully the sun had returned for one last time this weekend, I had a pint of Sweetwater Brewery Hash Session IPA costing £4.80, very fruity in taste and possibly the best pint of the day, they certainly offer a good selection of IPA's, but as one person said to me later in the night that the lack of stouts/porters was evident but nonetheless an excellent bar/pub.

A walk up the hill, we then visited the Merchant pub next door to Pryzm, on first impression this is a bit of a rough and ready fake 'Spoons which was hit by a Goose Island shortage so I had to plump for a £4 pint of San Miguel which is one of the better mass produced lager out there, but for the real ale enthusiasts it is certainly lacking in choice. Last pub before going to the wrestling was the big 'Spoons on Millenium Square that was bathed in the Autumn sunshine, this is maybe the best 'Spoons in Leeds but one thing I did notice in the city on this day was there must have been some sort of Gypsy festival going on as it was teeming with extra's from My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding - proper David Dickinson tans on show here folks.

Drinks done, it was off to the wrestling at Przym with around 250/300 in attendance on this evening in what was a spacious nightclub room which is akin to many of PCW's venues.First thing I was greeted with was the news off my mate Rodger who reported that bottles of 330ml Budweiser were £5 a bottle and that would be the general price of things with bottles of Kopparberg being £5.90 and near enough a dry bumming for everything else - this was probably the only down point on what is a very good venue for wrestling.

Due to PCW's ring announcer not being available we had Steven Fludder doing the honours of compering the evening, so without further ado let's get into what went down on this evening. We started off with 4-way action with Planet Bolton's own Arcadian taking on A.C Stryker, Dave Birch and former PCW Women's Champion Rhio. This was a 7/8 minute affair that was more of a showcase for Rhio who looked excellent during this match, dives were hit to the outside by Styker, Birch and Arcadian but they were all then flattened by Rhio came off the top with a crossbody to everyone below. Not long after Rhio used a Pumphandle slam and a roll of the dice to Dave Birch for the impressive victory and build momentum on her way to the Blindfold match on the 23rd November in Blackpool.

Second up was a battle of two former rivals with Chris Masters taking on Iestyn Rees. Early part of this contest was Iestyn trying to avoid getting in the ring to face Masters but he was caught on the ring rope and thrown back in the ring by The Masterpiece. Back in the ring though it was Iestyn who dominated a lot of this match, but a spirited comeback from Masters had him on the verge of victory as he looked to lock in the Masterlock but was kicked in the balls by Rees whilst the ref wasn't looking, leading to Rees hitting an elevated slam to Masters for the 3 count. This was a really good big lad's match and you sort of forget that Rees and Masters are very underrated as two big lad wrestlers.

Third match up was the debut in PCW of 'The Pork of York' Dom Black taking on our boy Ashton Smith who as ever was sang to from the Manchester section of the crowd,but this was being drowned out by Black's supporters who know him very well from his time in True Grit and RISE. During Black's entrance he tried to through a bouquet of roses to the crowd but it kept getting thrown back to him, so not much love around in Leeds from some people .Black during this match was trying to get in the head of Ashton by using tactics like pulling his own trunks down and other sexual references to his Pork. Black though got the Pork Shoulder from Ashton and was duly made mincemeat of when Ashton got ticked off and finished off Black with a GTS then a roll of the dice for the victory in around 15 minutes. If anything Black got over with the crowd and got a 'Please come back' chant so a thumbs up to a return for him in the future.

Half Time Main Event was a rematch from Blackpool a couple of months ago between Sheikh El-Sham and Joey Hayes. Sheikh who once again was getting the 'Sheikh El Shambles and Sheiking in his boots' chants worked early on Joey's and ribs using elevated knee strikes to wind Hayes,and this would work into the finish as Sheikh glanced Hayes with a chairshot to the ribs and then a sweet rolling spear which looks excellent as a finisher for the big victory - Sheikhy is certainly getting the rocket strapped to him in PCW and I could easily see him as Champion in the next year which would be a great achievement for the lad. After the match Joey did get scant consolation as he got hit with a JKO off Hayes to send him packing to the back.

Back from the break we returned with PCW Women's action with the Champion Nightshade this time taking on another PCW debutant in the form of Midlands wrestler Kanji who I have seen once before at Southside and was impressive on that occasion showing a lot of high flying moves for someone in the infancy of their career. BOOM BOOM BOOM LET ME HEAR YOU SAY KANJI KANJI! was the cry from our section of the crowd to try and will her on to beat Nightshade, but despite her best efforts when she tried to fightback with a moonsault that she ultimately missed to Nightshade, leading to Nightshade to land a roundhouse kick to the back of Kanji's head to get the 3 count. I for one hope to see Kanji get another opportunity in PCW as she came across very good here.

Semi Main Event we had a battle of two up and coming youngsters with Kieran Kelly who had looked good in the first match at Blackpool on the Friday night taking on Philip Michael who had picked up a win against Ashton Smith the night before, This was a really good back and forth contest where both lads certainly didn't put foot wrong where some more experienced wrestlers certainly would. Since his break away from PCW, Philip Michael has changed up his style of wrestling a bit as he was more submission based when last seen, but he has picked up more lucha libre style offence which can only be a good thing. Kelly himself was impressive on this evening, coming within a whisker of beating Phil with a splash from the top rope for a 2 count, sadly for Kieran it wasn't to end so good as Phil dug into his submission catalogue and made Kieran tap out to a double arm submission for the victory - this was certainly my graps!

Main event time with PCW Champion Tel Banham and BIG T taking on the team of 'Magnificent' Matthew Brooks and T-Bone who was clad in full Operamania garb whilst also treating the fans to his dulcet tones (I can say I have heard worse ha). Before I get into the match, someone to the left hand side of the crowd shouted 'Sexual Chocolate' at BIG T, which he certainly took offence to as he walked round to that side and gripped the lad who probably was walking in a puddle of his own shit - don't mess with BIG T is the lesson here folks. As a first time team here I thought Brooks and Bone looked very cohesive as a unit and at one stage they double suplexed BIG T which at any time is an impressive feat of strength. Banham and T did come back into it focusing there attack on Brooks, that was until a hot tag to T-Bone who came in to clean house sending Big T packing over the top rope leaving Tel prone to a double boot from Bone and Brooks which was then followed up by dueling leg drops for the victory and chalking up another one in the loss column for your Champion Tel for whom this was a bad weekend of defeats.

With the show done at 8:45pm, it was time to say our goodbyes but not before making a visit back to Tapped to see Steve and Meg of London for a swift pint and a chat before getting the train/tram back to Rochdale at Midnight. So there we are another show done and in closing I have got to say  I preferred the Leeds show over the Blackpool show with Kieran Kelly vs Philip Michael being the best match of the show, with Rees vs Masters and Smith vs Black being ones to keep a look out for, hopefully this show has proven successful enough for them to run the venue once again next year.

As ever I hope you have enjoyed reading this review and I will see you next time at Rev Pro's show in Brixton featuring Minoru Suzuki taking on Tomohiro Ishii - that will be proper two dads in a car park stuff. So until then - BYE!!

WESTWORLD AU

OKAY I know I’ve been working on this for a while, but I feel like I finally have a handle on it! I hope you guys like what I have! I may not explicitly list everyone, but you can guarantee that everyone is a part of this. Thanks for reading!

@the-roanoke-society

Westworld is a unique experience where you can live out your fantasies set in the classical western town of Sweetwater. You’ll encounter a wide variety of characters during your time in the park, with the danger and difficulty increasing the further out you travel. In Westworld, you can truly live without limits.

A Delos Destination

There are three groups of characters:

Staff are those responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the hosts, the park, and the guest experience. They are employees of the Delos corporation and are tasked with both maintaining the current park and innovating with new updates for the hosts. Realism and complete immersion is the ultimate goal.

Guests are those fortunate individuals that have been either invited or have paid their way to Westworld (Which isn’t cheap at $40,000 per day). Upon arrival, all guests will be able to choose from a bespoke wardrobe and also various weapons as desired to carry with them while in Westworld. Once guests board the train to Sweetwater, what happens next is entirely in their control.

Hosts are next-generation synthetic beings complete with programmed emotions and tailored responses. Each host has been carefully scripted and planted to lead guests during their journey in Westworld. From the farmer’s daughter to the rogue gunslinger, all are part of a carefully planned storyline that ebbs and flows at the guest’s choosing. Do not be alarmed by their capabilities and realistic emotions. Their core code prevents them from harming guests.

Meet Our Hosts

‘Lauren’ Looking for a good time in Sweetwater, or maybe a place to rest your head? Visit the Mariposa Saloon and ask for Lauren. She’ll put you up in a room, direct you to your next adventure, or introduce you to some of her friends.

‘Jack’ New in town? Not to worry! Returning to Sweetwater after some time away is Jack, a fount of information on everything Sweetwater has to offer! If traveling alone, don’t hesitate to ask him to come along!

‘Charlie’ If you see Charlie during your travels, run away, for danger will surely follow. Proud owner of the highest bounty ever offered by the town of Sweetwater, taking him down will surely be a challenge!

Other Notable Hosts

Aly, the town doctor. Any ailment, any injury, Aly can handle it. It’s a dangerous world out there.

Kieran, the local bounty hunter. If you’re interested in pursuing some of Sweetwater’s more menacing folks, talk to Kieran, he’ll show you the way.

Prudence, the farmer’s daughter, a good companion for a scenic tour through Sweetwater and some of the surrounding scenery.

Cillian the town preacher. You can find him in the chapel, should you need his services. (Marriage officiating available upon request, requires advance notice.)

Walter, the sheriff of Sweetwater, can be found in the center of town, full of information on things to watch out for, as well as all the bounties available.

Alessandra provides a glimpse into the mystical side of Sweetwater, offering tasks for those not satisfied with traditional fare.

Joann is by far the best sharpshooter in town. Itching to try out that gun strapped to your hip? Just visit Joann outside the Mariposa Saloon and she’ll take you out to the range and get you in fine form!

Crowley, the proprietor of the town’s inn. He sees to every guest’s specific needs and desires. The inn can be located beside the Mariposa Saloon.

Rum, Charlie’s illusive partner in crime. Pulling off heists with Charlie keeps him busy, but any free time he gets, he checks in on Angela. He’ll look the other way if you do, but if you’re aiming to cause trouble, keep an eye on her.

Angela is in charge of the bar at the Mariposa Saloon, and don’t mistake her kindness for weakness. Frequently seen associating with Rum, of Charlie’s gang, it would be a mistake to get on her bad side. That said, she has many pieces of advice for newcomers.

Parker is a friendly presence in Sweetwater, and can be found by following her dog out to the edge of town. If you’re looking for information on the various hosts in town, she’s got all the information you could ask for. (If a guest needs to leave for any reason, approach Parker and inform her of the issue.)

For the main plotline concerning Charlie:

Beginner: Head out with the scouting party, including the Sheriff and/or Jack Intermediate: Request the help of Kieran to pursue the bounty Advanced: Go it alone
