Welcome to Brimstone, partner!

The year is 1884, but the history is not our own. In a less traveled northeast corner of the Territory of New Mexico is the bustling boomtown of Brimstone (population 2,921).

Brimstone is loosely modeled after modern day Clayton, New Mexico in Union County. Unlike Clayton, Brimstone is much larger. With the discovery of ghost rock in close proximity its rail business is booming. Much like Clayton was in the 1800s, Brimstone is also a busy railroad and livestock town with many ranches in and near the town.
