About this City Journal

It once was isolated, divided by the waters of the land. However, through time and effort, the people came, the churches were raised, and the waters were found to be friendly. Welcome to V

Deer Park: Part 2

By JetShadez66,

Deer Park As we continue our travels through Deer Park, we head over across U-2 into the eastern part of the city. At this point the city limits of Deer Park and Cresent City get very blurred. Primarily this section of the city has the art district along with Deer Park College of the Arts, the capital district with the capital tower, high rise (pencil towers) residential facilities), and finally the sports district on the far south side of the city. Major highways include: U-2: Runs north to south through...

Deer Park: Part 1

By JetShadez66,

Deer Park Welcome to Deer Park, Vän Vatten; the capital of the Vän Vatten region. Deer Park (DP) is one of the largest cities in the region, and holds in it some of most important aspects of Vän Vatten. When entering Deer Park make note that it will take several days to get through the city. While the United Transportation Network is new and does make quick work through most of the city, the business district, capital district, and residential areas in between are vast, congested, and can be very...

Blackwater

By JetShadez66,

Blackwater Welcome to Blackwater, Vän Vatten. Blackwater sits on the far west side of the metroplex. While starting out as a industrial hub revolving around the Låg Creek heading into the Viktoria River. Like Reeds and Winchester the land was fertile enough for crop development on the southern side of town. The Flatlands Express crossed through town, intersecting with the Blackwater Connection from Kaw City, and the Western Expanse, a line heading directly from Blackwater Port to the west. Western Expanse...

Winchester/Reeds

By JetShadez66,

Winchester/Reeds Welcome to Winchester, Vän Vatten, part of the western grain plains in the region. Winchester has a stumbling population that floats around 400 people annually. Just to the west of Kaw City, it is survived primarily due to VV33 cutting through east to west, VV20 running north to south, the Winchester Western running east to west with a depot within the town’s limits, and the Ciscal Orient which comes from the far north through the middle of Winchester, intersecting with the Winchester...

Kaw City

By JetShadez66,

Kaw City One of Councilman McGraw’s strongest urges in the Vän Vatten region was to expand, expand, and expand some more. However, not all places is expansion as easy going as many of the ‘flats’ throughout the region. Kaw City is one of those exceptions, as a city sitting on the Viktoria River at one of its widest portions in the region; it’s been hard to form a strong transportation system with limited space. To add troubles to that, Kaw City is just north of one of the cities of the metroplex; Deer...

Lindsborg

By JetShadez66,

Lindsborg Welcome to Lindsborg, Vän Vatten, the second half of what’s left of the people of the water. Lindsborg is far more modern than its other half. Lindsborg is a commercial hub along the Viktoria River. The notable geological features of the city are the coastal region along the Viktoria, and the ending of the 2nd Fork of the Hickory River. Ferry transportation is vital throughout the city with hubs sitting on both the Viktoria and the Hickory. As stated before Lindsborg was the second half of the...

By JetShadez66,

Örebro Welcome to Örebro, Vän Vatten. A town in north central VV that is nearly as old as time itself. Before Queensland, before VV, there was Örebro. As stated before, the history of Vän Vatten was lost with the turmoil following the assassination of Queen Elmsburg. However, through recent years a strong uprising has gripped the nation, the desire to learn, to understand where we came from, what we are, and what we can learn from the past in order to establish a brighter future. Remember, one of the...

Holly Grove

By JetShadez66,

Holly Grove Welcome to Holly Grove, Vän Vatten. True as all definitions point to, Holly Grove is indeed a spillover, a suburb of Cresent City. It’s the northern suburb this completely land locked, and has several main highways traveling through it. Make no mistake though, Holly Grove is a city in itself as well, it holds just over 47,000 people, making it the third largest city in Vän Vatten, at this moment. Holly Grove has all the makings of a true city. U-1 ends its short western journey in the southern...

Post Oak

By JetShadez66,

Post Oak Welcome to Post Oak, Vän Vatten. Originally Post Oak was the fourth city of the Golden Valley area. However, as time passed, with the increasingly rapid growth of Holly Grove to the north and Cresent City to the west, Post Oak has quickly transformed into a city on the edge of the Golden Valley. A few farms still exist in the east, but the primary function of Post Oak now is acting like a buffer for those of the rural heading into the city, and vice versa. Like its former siblings, the Strand...

Golden Valley

By JetShadez66,

Golden Valley Welcome to the Golden Valley, Vän Vatten. Golden Valley is actual terminology to describe an area consisting of three towns: Eldon, Starlight, and Beata Point. These towns are primarily agricultural wonders…in other words: few houses and a lot of fields of golden waves. Golden Valley obviously is used as a describing name for the plentiful wheat throughout this region, as well as corn, barley, and hops. Eldon, Starlight, and BP are merely just small communities in which the grain trucks can...

Concorde

By JetShadez66,

Concorde Welcome to Concorde, Vän Vatten, a community bent on being known. For the most part Concorde sticks out for one primary reason, it is the east terminal of the North Central Line. It is absorbed into the Strand Linje North, the same that cruises through Augusta. Obviously this brings rail traffic to this section of the region. Concorde has also been referred to as the “Gateway to the Wheat”. Just south of Concorde, as you’ll discover, the ground gives over and the fields are plentiful as we will...

Deepwell

By JetShadez66,

Deepwell This is Deepwell, Vän Vatten, the northeastern town of the Vän Vatten region. A small place, packed with sorrow and despair with an outlook on what could be. Earliest indication is that Deepwell was here longer than many know. Because of how isolated it was from the other six charter cities, Deepwell had no say in affairs of Vän Vatten. Most of them weren’t too worried about it either; Deepwell was a small farming community that kept to itself and its own business. Then the North Central Line was...

Augusta

By JetShadez66,

Augusta Welcome to Augusta, Vän Vatten. Augusta, for the longest time, was the eastern most town sitting in the Vän Vatten region. Primarily because of the isolation from other municipal areas, people feared living in a region that lack population and threatened with trials and tribulations each day. Augusta sits next to the largest lake in Vän Vatten, Lake Augusta. For years it was believed that Augusta would become a major industrial port for the eastern Vän Vatten region. However, that was before Holly...

Shooter

By JetShadez66,

Shooter Welcome to Shooter, Vän Vatten. A city designed solely around natural beauty that surrounds the people. It is a growing community with a past that stretches back hundreds of hundreds of years, far before people settled the area. The area was believed to be covered at one point by ice, most notably glaciers. Throughout the years the ice did recede to the north and left behind a flat, clean slate of land…most of northern Vän Vatten. Shooter was unique because of some of the waterways that were left...

Fontana

By JetShadez66,

Fontana Welcome to Fontana, the oasis of the northern semi-arid land. As you may have seen through the short trip through Vän Vatten, the land is very…diverse. Vän Vatten as a whole has many tributaries flowing through its boundaries (hence the name), but aside from the land near water, the rest of Vän Vatten is rather dry. The vegetation is primarily conifers that can go long durations without satisfying rain fall, and desert shrubs also dot the area. To the north, through where we travel, you can see the...

Trill Point

By JetShadez66,

Trill Point Trill Point for the longest time, starting after the recovery of the 1920’s was a startup agrarian village just east of Hickory Center along VV1. A few farms along the northern woods of VV. When VV1 was further stretched from Hickory Center to the northeastern frontier of VV, the growth sparked a rapid industrial development of Trill Point. Still a small community along the 2nd Fork of the Hickory River, industry had a small port, a small church, and a few farms of the area. For years Trill...

History of Vän Vatten Welcome to Hickory Center, a major city in the northern tier of Vän Vatten, and very rich in history. Originally Hickory Center was named Queensland, in honor of the royal family of Vän Vatten. For several hundred years (1500-1700) Vän Vatten form of government was a monarchy government, with the queen having the majority power and the final say in all things needed for the country. In 1790 a new Queen was placed in order of the country, Queen Viktoria Elmsburg of Ciscal. She was the...

By JetShadez66,

Howdy Ya'll! Welcome to Vän Vatten! A land of friendly waters! I'm your host, your tourist, your friend, you may know me as...Jet. I'm merely a historian, a fan of the past, and a dreamer of a future. Hence why you've found me inside the lands of Vän Vatten.
