Teramo

"Miserable little colorato merda of a place."

- Victor Ferris

History
Teramo is a border town on the South-western edge of The Wild, near the The Expanse. It was once a relatively thriving Trading Post, with swarms of travelers seeking passage to and from The Gold via The Expanse. While not an especially wealthy town itself, its location made it an ideal conduit for goods, materials, arms and black market smuggling, right up until it was taken over by Carlo De'Magna. Since then, much of Teramos legitimate businesses have either become corrupt and trade under the shadow of De'Magnas gangs, or been driven away.

Despite its remorseless upheaval, De'Magna's Teramo has begun to recover its former status as a formidable trading and stopover point. For many, it goes without saying that while the town is rotton to the core, it has become a somewhat gritty oasis for gun-runners, scavengers, mercinaries and travellers (both legitimate or otherwise) across the Expanse.

In the years since De'Magnas takeover both crime and poverty, as well as profits and illegal trade have risen dramatically, with De'Magnas usurped power, and strong underworld backing ensuring that in Teramo, De'Magnas word is Law.

Teramo is also notable for being the birthplace of Victor Ferris.
