Name: Emerald Valley
Description: Named for the color of the lush grasses that grow thick and sweet in the warm seasons, this valley is all that remains of a great freshwater lake that dried away in the past few years. Large prey flock to this place during Spring and Summer, taking advantage of the easy grazing, meaning better chances for successful hunting for Predators. A river winds lazily through the valley, sparkling and clear, with soft, sandy shores here and there. Smaller prey animals make their homes here year around, in burrows and warrens. Stretching ten miles in either direction, this Valley is located near Valhalla.
Location: West
Name: Moontouched Cliffs
Description: These cliffs stand an impressive two hundred feet above the eastern sea shore of Alacritis. At the top grows a lush field of wildflowers, and one could be fooled into thinking that there was no danger ahead. Wrong. The field breaks off as though a giant bear had pried the land away with it?s claws, and eaten the other half. The sheer wall is comprised of white stone, glittering here and there with mineral deposits. Maybe even an occasional gold vein. Far below, a narrow strip of white sand makes up the beach, reachable only by a narrow trail only those brave or foolhardy at heart would take.
Location: East
Name: Sea?s Plain
Description: This place is set at the southern coast. Every inward tide, brackish water floods this area. Teeming with life, the water is not palatable, but if one is a good show at fishing, there are plenty of fish to be had. On Low tide, the beach is bared to the sun, and other kinds of sea food can be found, if a wolf doesn?t mind digging. Crypress Trees, young and old grow sparsely apart, wide bases standing strong against storms and thriving in the brackish water.
Location: South
Name: The Silver Snakes
Description: A braided river that stretches along the western edge of Alacritis. Far enough inland to be sweet, clean water, the river winds and twists in among itself in it?s bed of sand and stone. The course it takes is never set in stone. One year a strand of the river could be all off on it?s own, then next, that strand?s course can have changed and rejoined the main body. At either edge of the Riverbed, heavy growths of young alder, willow, and other riverside and streamside plants clot the area. It?s a common place to find prey, and there are many fine den sites that could make this place a good claim for a pack.
