The Year is 1885…
It has been twenty years since the end of the American Civil War. The small, Union-affiliated state of Lavinia still reels from the fray. Much of the state remains an untamed frontier, inviting gangs of outlaws to hinder the wheels of civilization. The government struggles to apprehend the remaining indigenous people and send them to reservations, and old beliefs are continually challenged with new thinking. The lands, beautiful as they are, lie in disarray.
Some wonder when progressive new ideals will end – when things will return to how they are ‘meant to be’. Others look towards the bright, dawning future that stretches before them.
Will you be a lawman tirelessly defending citizens from violence? A rich investor tending their business empire by day and lavish soirées by night? A highly-skilled crafter or down-on-their-luck rancher? A Native struggling to keep their cultural identity in a changing world? Or an outlaw out to protect their gang at any cost?
In Lavinia, your story is powerful. You aren’t just a background player. Your actions hold the potential to shape the entire state…

It has been twenty years since the end of the American Civil War. The small, union-affiliated State of Lavinia still reels from the fray. Yet their problems do not quite end there. Nestled snugly between Louisiana and Texas, the state remains something of a “frontier” – a land still untamed. The government struggles to apprehend the remaining indigenous people and send them to reservations; old beliefs are challenged with new thinking. The lands, beautiful as they are, lie in disarray. A fractured painting of what they could be.
Some wonder when it will end – when this ‘age of enlightenment’ will fall and things will return to how they are ‘meant to be’. Others look towards the bright, dawning future that stretches before them.
In Lavinia, your story rests in your own hands – it is yours to tell…
