Wolf Lands Incorporated
In June 2007 Wolf Lands Incorporated were contracted to plan and construct a new city and resort in the West Bay district. The estimated completion date is 2010 and is planned to include a mega-destination resort with an all-inclusive hotel with restaurants, shopping, entertainment, relaxation, business, and more, a small, jungle-preserve styled walk-in (giant cage) zoo, a mini-amusement park complete with rollercoasters and water rides and open fields and park for sports, horses, and personal use. Also planned is a fantasy-styled, in-character city (like a colonial town, but fantasy), complete with everything necessary for both a functioning town and for an enjoyable, sureal experience. The new city has been named Justinian and the resort area Obsidian.
