[justify]FLINTLOCK LODGE is a civilization that takes to a more isolated way of life. Camped out in the far north, these survivors live in an abandoned ski lodge, next to a minecart railroad that leads them out towards the other civilizations. The climate is freezing and unkind towards creatures, so prey comes hard to find. Because of this, they have set up a rabbit breeding farm in the lodge's basement. They treat the rabbits humanely, and sometimes even take a few up as pets if they cannot produce children, are runts, or prove in any way to not be fit for harvesting. Flintlock also grows vegetables in their greenhouse and hunts, forages, and fishes.

Flintlock welcomes anyone; they've taken in quite a few teens and children as well as those who just need to escape a bad background.

WELCOME to Flintlock Lodge. It isn't cushy living here, but we'll take care of you. Food can be scarce and we always need to work hard to survive—but we've survived raid after raid and we're still here, aren't we? Don't mess with us. We won't hesitate to kill if we need to, but we aren't ruthless either. We just know how to protect our own.

[justify]The Flintlock Lodge citizens make their home in a large ski lodge. Though it was in disrepair when they found it, it has since been cleaned up and strengthened by the members of the group. The region is mountainous and hilly, as they are well above sea level themselves, and there are forests interspersed, mostly consisting of spruce and pine woods. The main sources of wildlife are wild rabbits, feral dogs, snow grouse, arctic foxes, and deer.

In the lodge is kept a small rabbit farm—indoors simply to help keep the rabbits safe from the predators of their land that would gladly slaughter them. The lodge itself is large enough to house families room by room, though some smaller families will share and those without kin often room together. Any meetings or announcements held by the dictator or otherwise are given in the largest common room; the cafeteria, of sorts. It's in nice condition, though a bit chilly. The kitchen of the lodge, though not as functional as it once was, is still quite serviceable, with plenty of equipment brought in by traders, and it's got a walk-in freezer that, though unpowered, is kept quite cold by the tons of ice and snow that are always abundant in the territory.

Those who need to leave the group, either permanently or temporary, are given a faster trip via minecart; an old railroad is nearby the lodge, and a usable minecart makes for a much less harrowing trip down to the other known groups. The railroad also goes to an old mine, however, this has not yet been fully explored. It takes enough to keep the railroad from the lodge to other groups maintained, and no expedition has yet been made to the other end.
