Jameston Sanitorium is an abandoned insane asylum in a secluded area north of Prospect. Only a gated access road, closed, leads to it. Otherwise one must hike the rugged terrain for hours before reaching it. The Sanitorium is in ruins and no one in their right mind would live there. Save squatters. The stories told of Jameston Sanitorium of it being haunted is endless, and that is because they have no idea how haunted it is.

The Sanitorium has a sordid history. Founded by the Haunter Halphas, the seclusion of the Sanitorium along with the surplus of relics and knick-knacks made it a prime place for restless to gather. One by one more restless came, and soon the Sanitorium became a city within the asylum. Halphas joined the West Coast Sixers, a Renegade Gang of slavers and since then the Sanitorium has become a popular Renegade drop point. Many have come to call the Sanitorium home, eager to claim the Sanitorium for themselves following the odd rules put forth by Halphas. Namely, that the Mayor is elected every six months.

Ever since the first election the Mayor has been Solange Bander, a Solicitor and leader of the West Coast Sixers. A very pompous and regal individual Bander is always willing to cut a deal no matter what faction one might belong to. Given the wealth and value of Jameston, Bander has no intention of letting his position as leader (and the support from the Sixers) slip through his grasp.
