The Trenches


The Trenches are a rather bland area of rolling, rocky hills. The land is covered in sharp ridges and indentations both, evidence of glacial activity in the area long ago. Rivers and small lakes, none of which are large enough to warrant naming, dot the land here, draining from the forests of Ethereal Eclipse to flow out into the sea. The coastline itself is dotted with the sandur plains of long-melted glaciers as well as the flattened deltas of some of these tiny streams. Rural fishing villages, falling to varied states of decay, dot the coastline here, but much of the inland area seems rather untouched, as if man had never settled there to begin with. To the south of the territory, the rolling hills plains drop abruptly where land meets rock, and eventually, the rock gives way to the Gulf of Maine and the Atlantic Ocean. The rocky face of Southern Nova Scotia is appropriately nicknamed 'The Trenches.'



Blackmoor Castle


Nestled into the cliffs bordering the Atlantic Ocean sits a wonder beyond belief: Blackmoor Castle. Hundreds of years ago in medieval times, a Scottish Lord arrived onto these barren shores and had the castle built with actual black stones from his native country. This was to be a wedding gift to his intended bride. High walls surround the castle along with a draw bridge and moat. It is said that his bride-to-be never made it there, but the grief stricken Lord still wanders the halls and keeps the castle intact, sill waiting. Much of the castle was converted for tourism purposes, and many of the "artifacts" within are fakes -- nevertheless, the castle itself is a wonder to behold.
