Texas' Gulf Coast is a remarkably hazardous place. There is no great abundance of mutants, and it certainly isn't the most radioactive place, even in Texas. What gives the Corpse Coast its name is the constant bloodshed. As civilization slowly takes root in other nearby lands; displaced criminals, mercenaries, pirates, raiders, and slavers pour off of Rafter boats. These men and women come seeking the freedom to live however they please, and they're followed by brave (if unscrupulous) merchants and bounty hunters seeking to drag select immigrants back to distant lands where they're wanted for crimes against local regimes.
