mental_floss Blog & Strange Geographies: the Forgotten High School of... At the turn of the last century, Goldfield was a mining boomtown -- prospectors were pulling millions of dollars worth of ore out of the ground each year, and with a population that ballooned to more than 30,000 by 1904, it was the largest town in the state of Nevada. It was a classic Old West success story: gun-slinging heroes like Wyatt Earp trod its wooden sidewalks, and in a society where the real measure of a town's worth was its bar-and-whorehouse scene, Goldfield had the rest beat: Tex Rickard's Northern Saloon had a bar so long it required 80 bartenders to run it. Of course, I wouldn't be writing about Goldfield if everything had kept going like gangbusters. By 1920s, the gold mines had started to peter out, and in 1923 a moonshine still exploded and started a fire that took most of the town's wooden buildings with it. One of those buildings is Goldfield High School, built during the boom years in 1907. The second-floor hallway, and one of many open or broken windows.

The Dark Ages. It has been nearly 300 years since the fall of the Roman Empire, a time of prosperity and the height of ancient culture. The Gods themselves walked amongst men, not as rulers, but as compatriots. But those times are over, and civilization has fractured, plunged into a chasm where greed, war and evil have consumed nearly every soul. It is a time for villains, and so, it has become ever more necessary, to be a time for heroes. There are those who have prospered, unchallenged for so long, starving the people and scouring the earth. But honorable men and super men have emerged, light-bringers to a shadowed land. The Super Man, George of Lasia, the Slayer of the Serpent. King Batman, Gawain the Bruce. Son of Aquarius, Artur Comhraide.
