Quentin Thorne went to Raines Village only to find that though it and Linton Village belonged to the same county, there was a world of difference geographically.
Linton Village is under Crestfall Township in Wrayhaven County, and is not one of the poorest places in Wrayhaven County. It's even somewhat picturesque, with mountains and streams, accessible by taking a bus and then a ride on a villager's motorcycle. On the other hand, Raines Village belongs to Peachgrove Township, a remote, impoverished, and isolated area. To get to Raines Village, one must pass through several large mountains, and twenty-nine years ago, when private cars weren't common, such a place was impenetrable. Even today, without a local guide, it is difficult to find one's way in, even by car.
