{{Infobox location|title = {{PAGENAME}}|type = Town|location = central Pteris|Government = Cronyist-Mercantilist|inhabiting Race = Criminals of all Races}}Whenever a [[Pteris]] town ain't big enough fer the two of 'em, thems outlaws need to lay their head somewhere. That somewhere is formally incorporated under the name "Safehaven," but everyone knows it's true name: Crooks' Creek. Located on the "coast" of the sea of dunes, the Kharmaja, Crooks' Creek houses pirates, outlaws, and smugglers. It's a lawless boomtown known fer barfights, gang shootouts, and the occasional skilled tattoo artist. | |||

Most of the information we know about Crooks' Creek comes from around 200BR and the [[Brightwater Campaign|Brightwater campaign]]. It is unclear when Crooks' Creek existed and how it appeared in different times. One Boros claimed to have been there in the time of the [[Into the Greedy Green|Greedy Green,]] so its storied history might be detailed by you. | |||

In the times of the [[Into the Greedy Green|Greedy Green]], the sandy lands of [[Pteris]] had changed rapidly, but not necessarily towards improvement. The wastes of Crooks' Creek bred many things, principally the namesake of the 'land'. Land was a subjective term; the only level of truth that statement had was in the literal. A tourist leaving would be lucky to leave in their underwear; keeping even a copper piece on your person was equivalent to wearing a suit of meat fighting a Tabaxi. And yet, you'd still find nobility scattered throughout, some completely unscathed with an air of invulnerability around them. For every one of those, nine others wandered aimlessly in bloodied scraps of clothing, pockets bare, stomachs empty. Whether it be from gambling debts past due, protection fees that were a little too light for the bookie's liking, or just the poor bastard's luck running out, the 'citizenry' of Crooks' Creek would always find a reason to gang up on someone. | In the times of the [[Into the Greedy Green|Greedy Green]], the sandy lands of [[Pteris]] had changed rapidly, but not necessarily towards improvement.

* '''The Revolving Wedding:''' Cheyenne (formerly Miss Anne-marie McLain) came to town and started with a bang. Six suitors lined up to marry the ascending queen of outlaws, and so she had them play a game of Rogue Roulette. Cheyenne loaded five chambers of her revolver, spun the chamber, and handed the suitors her gun to demonstrate their dedication to her. As luck would have it, the last chamber was the empty one, and her current husband simply goes as Mr. Six. | * '''The Revolving Wedding:''' Cheyenne (formerly Miss Anne-marie McLain) came to town and started with a bang.
