The smaller city-like patch on the left of New Gaspard is Quicksilver, a city based on Rapid City, South Dakota. Since anarchism Quicksilver has been inhabited by several people despite being in a ruined state. The city is not as desolate as old Gaspard, however it is nowhere near the grandeur of New Gaspard. This doesn't mean that a few independent businesses haven't sprung up in a heavily-protected corner of the town.

Tool takes place in the year 2091, around 50 years after a world-wide war renders the world in an anarchistic state. The state of South Yankton is based mostly on western South Dakota, with a bit of north Nebraska and east Wyoming making up the southern and western borderlands, respectively. Other influences include bits of California, Australia and the Middle-East.
