138 INTO VANELAND
3 rat elders, 3 rat robo vehicles, and 10 rat cargo containers on wheels towed by one of the robos come into the FADE TOWN of VANELAND.
Deep within the overgrown ruins of the Indiana "Hoosier" National Forest, the air occasionally thrums with a low-frequency hum that vibrates the teeth. When the ley lines surge, the mist parts to reveal Vaneland, a "fadetown" that exists only when the dimensional fabric is thin enough to tear.
The Location: Vaneland
The Watering Hole: At the center is a massive, glowing trough of "Charged Water"—ley line energy condensed into liquid form. It is irresistible to the mounts of the Simvan, acting as a powerful restorative for mega-fauna.
The Atmosphere: The town consists of semi-translucent buildings that shimmer like a mirage. When the town "fades out," anyone not keyed to Vane’s dimensional signature is deposited unceremoniously into the empty Indiana woods.
Vaneland General Store Radio Tower: 250mile range, 250cr/minute to use
Vaneland General Store Matrix Link: 25000 cr / day to use

Social Dynamics
External Relations: Acts as a territorial buffer and anchor for the Federation of Magic.
Internal Security: Vaneminions enforce Vane's will with "Phase-Strikes" that bypass physical armor.
Stability: Low/Transient; the town is only stable enough to serve as an HQ because of Vane's level Shifter abilities.
Vane
Vane is a calculating dimensional architect who views the Simvan as a necessary "outer guard" for his sanctuary. He is gaunt, wears a high-collar armored duster, and never speaks above a whisper.
The group finds VANELAND, a trading post controlled by vane, the shifter leader of town, he negotiates with caldor who is also a named federation of magic knight. Vane demands a toll...
Not believing they are for real, vane asks one of caldors minions be marked as PROPERTY Of VANE
