Community:Snakewater Fastness

Snakewater Fastness is a CAMP in Appalachia. It serves as the main headquarters of the Snek Cobra mercenary company.

Background
Originally constructed as a Brotherhood of Steel outpost, the main tower had been recently abandoned when it was discovered by the Snek Cobras. They quickly secured the location, and turned the concrete structure into their main headquarters. While they were previously nomadic, gaining a headquarters allowed the Snek Cobras to secure more influence in southern Appalachia. The Fortress quickly began acting as a waystation for travelers in and out of the Cranberry Bog.

Over time, travelers began staying nearby, in the relative safety of the shadow of the tower. Eventually, this would lead to the formation of the town of Cliffmarch. In recent months the arrival of the Eco-Friendly Dunwich Cult, and the construction of their temple known as The Oddment, has led to a power struggle within the town. This culminated in an anonymous attack on the central tower of the fastness.

From this outpost, the Snek Cobra mercenary company exerts influence on southern Appalachia, using it as a central hub for intelligence gathering, and resupplying between missions. It serves as the base for their tithe collectors, which they send out to collect Caps from the townsfolk of Cliffmarch, with the exception of the local cult who refuse to pay.

Layout
At the center of the outpost is the primary four story tower, with a main workshop floor, a bedroom floor, a roof, and a rec room basement. Outside the main building is a platform which hosts the outpost's artillery piece, operated by the Snek Cobra mercenary known simply as Uncle. Next to the artillery is a meeting tent, with a map of Appalachia, and a long table.

Next to the artillery platform is a tent which contains cots for new Snek Cobra recruits, behind which is the camp restrooms. Several security posts ring the camp, watching for outsiders approaching.
