#horror-inspired

To begin, I feel like the continent that the Grimm Lands are on is lacking settlement. Ain't no way there wouldn't at least be a few ports on the coast, both so Salem can access the outside world, so criminals can have an extra place to hide, and so there's be somewhere for cargo ships to layover.

Name all them bitches after horror movie locations. I'm talkin' Arkham, Haddonfield, and Innsmouth. Have 'em range from a couple of shacks around a lighthouse to full on Yarnham.

Put cults to Salem in a couple of the bigger, more well-defended ones.

The Grimmlands are so dangerous, and the reputation of the average citizen so low, that everything not grown or manufactured locally costs an arm and a leg. Everything's super simple and rugged as a result.

No gunlances or pneumatic sniper-daggers here. Just really good, single purpose weapons - maybe a special feature. Really competent rifles and pistols and gravity hammers.

All the vehicles are basically roll-cages with off-road tires and dust-powered engines. Maybe put a manually-aimed and fired gun turret in the bed. Like an extra low-budget technical.

"Cool" and original outfits are rare. There's, like, six clothing companies on the entire continent, and their styles haven't updated in decades. Good work clothes, though.

Oh! And there's a Romani-inspired subculture warring in the dark between people working to supply Salem for a handsome reward and old allies of Ozma. Qrow and Raven are very familiar with them from back in the day.
