Ash Valley

A low, dark crater is all that remains of a once crowded town in lower Nevada. Considered the mass graveyard of the wastes, Ash Valley was nearly completely eradicated by a nuclear explosion during the war. Sloping down into the crater, the soil is pitch black in color, and every footstep kicks up dust filtered with radioactive particles. very few buildings remain, and those that do are little more then barren shells and ruins, crumbling with age. The valley's defining feature though are the people; or what used to be people. Petrified in time, the corpses humans burnt in the blast from over a hundred years ago stand like obsidian statues, frozen in their last actions. Many have been destroyed over the years but those that remain act as gruesome headstones; reminders where offerings of wine and flowers are laid by the religious and superstitious.
