Sector 30N-97W AUSTIN

Divided in two by the Colorado River of Texas, this quirky, sprawling city serves as the capital of Texas and a magnet for misfits and hipsters. Unsurprisingly, it is one of the most astrally active places in the region, attracting many supernatural denizens such as leanan sidhe, vampires, and werefolk (particularly werebats). This sector lies at the boundary between the Edwards Plateau and the blackland prairie, which in the prime "real" universe has been turned into vast swaths of farmland, but in the primeval universe, remains home to upland savanna dwellers such as mammoths and giant ground sloths, and lowland prairie fauna such as greater bison.

The indigenous people of this sector are the Tonkawa (Tickanwa•tic) who are relocated to Oklahoma in the prime, but hold significant sway in the astral, along with their rivals, the Comanche and Lipan Apache.

The city of Austin is named for American colonizer Stephen Fuller Austin (1793-1836) who is known as "The Father of Texas".
