Land Name: Grower's Triumph (The Pot Patch? Red Eye Sanctuary?)
Description: When humans still walked the earth one particularly sneaky individual, hoping to avoid prying eyes, cleared out a small patch of trees in the heart of the unruly forest and planted a crop of their favorite plant. That plant, to the surprise of no one, was cannabis. He or she did such a good job of hiding the grow operation that now, many years later, it is still quite difficult to find. The small, sunlit clearing is now packed with the descendants of the incorrigible Mary Jane and the equipment once used to coax life into an otherwise cold and unwelcoming land still litters the ground. A little shed, now skewered by a small but determined tree, is filled with agricultural equipment at the south end of the pot patch.
Parent Land: Soulless Forest
Associated Skill(s): Healing, Navigation, Intellect (that equipment might come in handy...)
Land Name: Fertile Myrtle Grove (Copse? Thicket? Patch?)
Description: Beloved to the goddess Aphrodite is the myrtle tree! This thick stand of myrtles is seemingly blessed by the goddess herself. Hidden among the flowering trees is a myriad of useful plants all geared towards procreation. Those who are struggling to conceive will no doubt benefit from the abundance of plants known for their ability to boost fertility while those who are pregnant might seek out this place for nature's version of prenatal care. Those in the postpartum phase aren't left out either, as interspersed among the trees are plants geared towards strengthening fledgling immune systems, increasing milk production and restoring balance to an out of sorts body. It's rumored that the fertility goddess herself occasionally blesses those who visit. All in all, while beautiful, this is not a nice little place to bring your valentine unless you're ready for a lifetime commitment.
Parent Land: Gambit Briar
Associated Skill(s): Healing, Navigation (might I suggest a discount for pregnancy related purchases to those who find this place and ah mountain dew it here?)
Land Name: The Lost Tomb
Description: The final resting place of a once great leader might have remained hidden forever were it not for the earthquakes that frequently wrack this land. If one is brave enough to enter the yawning chasm between two hills he or she will find ancient and beautiful halls full of intricate pottery and statues. The walls are covered in hieroglyphs that depict the life of the one who is buried here and what he hoped to find in the afterlife, but don't let their beauty fool you. Many passages are booby-trapped to keep out looters and if one is to successfully navigate the tomb they must be very clever. The danger is worth it, though, for the coffin room is filled from floor to ceiling with priceless treasures.
Parent Land: Barren Dunes
Associated Skill(s): Intellect, Navigation
Land Name: Hunter's Eden
Description: Just east of paradise is a quaint little nook where hunters can bring down game with alacrity. So special is this place that only the most ardent hunters can find it as it was once a game preserve for rich and lazy humans, and is walled off from the rest of the island. What makes this place so special, you ask? Its only inhabitants are exotic prey animals such as zebra, gazelle and cape grysbok. Never having seen a predator before, those that call this place home are naive to the way of the carnivore and tend to stand dumbly before those who are eager to take a bite.
Parent Land: Daager's Isle
Associated Skill(s): Hunting, perhaps navigation
Land Name: Glimpse of Valhalla (The Hero's Welcome? March of the Valkyries? The Pathway to Heaven?)
Description: A land for only the stoutest of heart, [insert name here] is a place like no other. To get here one must traverse narrow marble bridges and steep gullies, but it is well worth the risk. Many a night is made brighter by the appearance of the northern lights and [insert name here] is perhaps the best place to bear witness to their beauty. If one is seeking communion with the gods, this is the place to do it as the reflection of the polar lights off the marble can evoke a deeply religious experience. It's said that the northern lights are cast by the Valkyries as they blaze across the sky to bring to Odin those who have fallen in battle, but regardless of one's belief, many will find this place awe-inspiring.
Parent Land: The Marble Wash
Associated Skill(s): Navigation, Intellect
Land Name: Sagan's Observatory
Description: The flat, open land here offers an unimpeded view of the night sky and because of this it was once a favorite destination for astronomers. Many a year ago an observatory was built to take advantage of the clear skies and it remains today as the only blemish on an otherwise flat grassland. Here the planets can be seen with ease and if one knows what to look for Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus stand out with startling clarity. Should the curious venture inside the old building they'll find room after room filled with star-gazing equipment.
Parent Land: Dancefloor of the Gods
Associated Skill(s): Navigation
Land Name: Old MacDonald's Distillery (Brewery? Perhaps Old MacDonald's Still?)
Description: With a barnyard full of unruly critters is it any surprise to learn the wizened old clodhopper developed a taste for hooch? Apparently he had a knack for making it too because tucked behind the barn and hidden by shrubbery is a cellar that's home to a treasure trove of stoneware jugs and distilling equipment. Any who wish to try their hand at making their own white lightning will find everything they need to do so here.
Parent Land: The Range
Associated Skill(s): Intellect
Land Name: The Armory
Description: Once a well defended base of operations, The Armory now lies in ruin in the heart of Vetera's Plateau. The first floor may be in shambles but in the basement is still in fair condition thanks to the rubble that covers it. If you climb down its single rickety staircase you'll find yourself in a large room. One wall is covered floor to ceiling with human weapons and riot gear, and tables with similar items are scattered throughout, but if you walk by it all and go through a doorway at the end you'll find yourself in a room that once belonged to the occupants' k9 team. Stab vests, bulletproof vests, goggles, boots and more are packaged neatly in shelves through the room.
Parent Land: Veteran's Plateau
Associated Skill(s): Fighting
Land Name: The Black Market
Description: Hidden deep in the mines is a place where wolves of all stripes can come together and trade their goods. A bouncer stands at the tunnel's entrance and only allows in types he deems worthy of entry. The deals can be as tame as rare herbs or as alarming as captives; to each their own. There is but one rule here: mind your own business.
Parent Land: The Northern Mines
Associated Skill(s): all (assuming my newest suggestion in the suggestion board is accepted)
