Top of the World

The Top of the World is a location in the Savage Divide region of Appalachia in 2102. Before the Great War, it was part of a ski resort.

Background
A landmark of the Savage Divide, the Top of the World was a saucer-shaped tourist attraction perched on top of the highest point in Appalachia, part of the elite Pleasant Valley Ski Resort.

After the Great War, many rich tourists survived at the resort. Many of them were counting on the government to rescue them, not realizing there was no government left. Afraid of looters they locked away their most valued possessions and divided up the key. As the supplies were running low, they sent an envoy to Charleston for help but were turned down. This led to the radicalization of the group, turning them into raiders. At some point prior to 2102, the Scorched killed all of the raiders except for Rose, a Miss Nanny programmed as a likeness of Rosalynn Jeffries.

Ground level
In front of the elevator is an overseer's cache, which contains the Overseer's log - Top of the World holotape. There are many raider styled buildings set around it. A few other cabins can be found in the surrounding area, presumably lodging for visitors pre-war, but it has since been overrun by super mutants.

Mezzanine level
This level was a shopping mall circular in shape on the second floor. Many windows are boarded up and the level is filled with shops, some of which still contain remnants of their products and robot employees. There are two weapons workbenches and an armor workbench located in one of the retail spaces. There is a tinker's workbench located in the Diamond Dust restaurant.

The stage and the clothes shack each contain a bobblehead spawn point, with three magazine spawns near each shack and the stage. Clockwise, the businesses are are:
 * Peak Condition, with a safe.
 * Diamond Dust, a jewelry store that was the subject of a stakeout before the Great War.
 * Matterhorn Chophouse, with a chemistry station and a safe.
 * Snowflake Baubles, with two weapons workbenches and an armored workbench, repurposed into a workshop.
 * Dreamboat Yachts, with a safe.
 * Ice Sculpture gallery, defunct.
 * Apres Apres Ski, with a safe.
 * A La Chez Burger, with a recipe spawn on the counters.

Observation level
The observation level is the top floor at the Top of the World. The raider robot Rose can be found here. It houses radio equipment which Rose uses to run Raider Radio. A cage containing Hank Madigan's corpse can also be found here. This level cannot be accessed until the Signal Strength quest is completed.
