Serena Reserve


During the time of humans, a small pack of wolves and numerous elk were relocated to this preserve. The wolves didn't exactly flourish and died out fairly early. They say you can hear the ghosts of these wolves still mourning over each of their pack mates' deaths. Wapiti roam freely here in overwhelming numbers, held in by barbed wire fences that have prohibited many usual predators from reaching the wapiti herds. Now, however, parts of the fence have started to fall, holes sliced into its formerly impassable metal links. The spacious reserve has many spots where forest take over the open fields, containing a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees, all fairly sparse and easy to navigate.



Grandfather's Tears


In the south-west portion of the Serena Reserve, hidden in the trees of one of the most dense forests in the area, is a collection of four springs: Grandfather's Tears. They are sporadically placed and do not form any shape, and are all connected. They feed a strong river that courses through the reserve and rushes out to the ocean. These springs were said to have been put here by the elder of the wolf pack's tears to give the wolves one last chance at survival, and they were said to be cursed when the winter claimed the whole pack. In the winter, the ice on these springs is a mysterious deep indigo and prey animals that wander near them seem to be found dead in the surrounding area not long afterward, with absolutely no explanation.



Mersey Lagoon


Named after a river which runs nearby, the Mersey Lagoon is a former meadow-turned-floodplain that barely retains water during the wetter spring and summer seasons. During the spring and summer and into early autumn months, the area is a muddy, murky pondlike swamp chock full of sinkholes, occasionally completely flooded by overflow from the adjacent Mersey River. However, in the late fall and the entirety of winter, it is a frozen wasteland complete with icy pools where the sinkholes were once before. But despite its unappealing appearance, game in the form of deer and grouse frequently navigate its soft grounds, and one can procure a meal easily within the Mersey Lagoon area.
