The Dampwoods


This lowlands forest contains a multitude of tall conifers and even taller deciduous trees, with hearty underbrush and thickets of tangled shrub growth. The ground is lined with an elegant bed of pine needles -- they provide excellent sound cover for the stealthy hunter. Innumerable streams, rivers, and lakes snake through the forest, thus the name Dampwoods. To the north, the forest gradually thins and the soil becomes rocky, evidence of the western hills of The Waste. The same thinning occurs along the southern edge of the territory, and although the Dampwoods do not touch the shore, the ocean's roar can be heard on quiet days.



Musquodoboit Valley


The rural Musquodoboit Valley was expansive farmland prior to the virus. Hidden by the Wittenburg Ridge and Glenmore Mountain to the north, the area has since flourished with vegetation. The shallow, narrow Musquodoboit River runs through the center of the valley. A sawmill sits along the southernmost bend in the river, while the northeast parts of the valley consist of sweeping agricultural fields. The southern half of the vale is primarily woodland, littered with stones and boulders glacier movement thousands of years ago.



Dawn's Breath


A short distance south of Halcyon is a strange territory, something of a continued outcropping of the mountain range. Dawn's Breath seems peaceful and serene upon first glance, but is in fact rocky and treacherous. In the easternmost parts, Dawn's Breath begins as sparse grassland and graduates to small, rolling hills, thick with ferns and deciduous trees. A small rock face forms a crescent around around the western half of the territory; crags and small caves are reminiscent of the northerly Howling Caverns, with small caves and underground streams.
