Crystallum Cliffs (in the east)

A sudden drop in the thicket leads to a surprisingly tall cliff side. The slope of the rocks is almost completely linear, leaving little to no leverage to crawl back up. Should you fall in, you have to swim to safety on the other side. The water below is icy and still enough to reflect the rocks towering above it. It gives the appearance of a longer fall than it really is.



Submerged Woods (in the north)

What was once a pleasant woody area high between the tops of two mountains was submerged when a normally dammed river overflowed and filled the space. Trees that were over twenty feet tall are submerged here, and because of the consistent freezing temperatures, the greenery below has stayed green. During the winter and spring it freezes over completely, making for an incredible spectacle, as only the tops of the trees peek through the ice.




Whistling Willows (in the west)

Tall draping willows are the only trees in this area - and they hang to the point of nearly touching the ground. The trees here are constantly pushing and pulling, swaying with the wind. They lead to a good sized pond, covered in lily pads and teeming with frogs and fish.



Untilled Orchard (near the range, in the south)

Various fruit bearing trees grow here. They are tall, having survived the test of time, despite the humans that planted them being long gone. They are aligned into neat rows, and consist of apple trees, cherry trees, orange trees and lemon trees. As the fruit is edible many different kinds of animals make their home here.





Gambit Briar (in the south)
A messy conglomerate of brier plants, full of thorns and very little paths through it that don't end up piercing the unfortunate souls that wander in. Small birds live here and can be heard, but are rarely seen. It is easy to get lost, and younger wolves can easily wander in and bleed to death - travelers be warned.



Delusion's Pool (in the south)

Surrounded by briers at all sides, this little pool of water is both insignificant and stunning. It remains remarkably clean, despite its surroundings and wounded visitors. It is fed by an underground well, and is constantly being filtered. There are small fish that live in the pool that make for a decent meal. Because of the foreboding surroundings and overall stillness, whispers are said to be heard when one lingers for too long. This pool is both a blessing and a curse.



Rustling Thicket (in the east)

The grasses here can grow as tall as the creatures that wander in. There are many bushes here as well that grow even taller, and block out the light just as well as a gathering of trees. There are many, many small birds that make their homes here and can constantly be heard fluttering overhead.
