Blue Mountain

Blue Mountain
Region:	Solomon Island
Zone:	Blue Mountain
Type:	Player versus environment

Blue Mountain is third and final zone of Solomon Island. It is located in the northwestern quarter of the island, with Kingsmouth to the east and Savage Coast to the south via Black Goat Pass

Blue Mountain is the location for the home of the Native American tribe that lives on the island, the Wabanaki. The members of the tribe have created a replica "Authentic Wabanaki Village" for tourists to visit, and are in the process of building a large casino, to be named the The Casino Pits. Apparently the name "Golden Teepee" was already taken, since the building resembles a Teepee more closely than it does a Wigwam.

Also in this area of the island is the Blue Ridge Mine, one of the few non-tourist industries of the island, as well as "The Asylum" - a mental-health facility that burned down some time ago and was never rebuilt.

This section of the island is certainly less developed than the other two sections. There is a small bog (Moon Bog) along the mountains on the eastern part of the zone, and there are even a small tribe of Sasquatch that have been living here undetected.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has set up camp here along with a Special Forces unit from The Pentagon that specializes in dealing with the occult and paranormal. The military detachment is led by "Sarge" and the DHS team is lead by Karen Olsen. Both of whom are apparently known personally by the Illuminati handler Kirsten Geary . Although, it is uncertain why they chose Blue Mountain as the base of their operations rather than Kingsmouth Town. Kingsmouth has the bridge to mainland, which would be critical to hold if they thought the invasion was going to spread, but perhaps they wanted somewhere a bit more remote and out of sight of the general populace.

Finally, the [Center For Disease Control (CDC) have also establised a camp here, on the northern end of Moon Bog. They were brought in along with the Orochi Group to investigate a strange substance seeping into the Moon Bog and causing mutations.
