1. Saltus Tristitia - "A forest, dense and plentiful with prey, it is not the happiest place. It is known as "Sadness Forest," Due to a maiden who lived in the forest, and she was waiting for her husband to come back from the war, yet he never came. He was killed in battle, and it was said that the maiden cried the lake in the middle of the forest, and then she became a white wolf, and lives to the forest this day. A large lake of salt water and fish in the middle of the forest, where drift wood and aged glass always appear. Many caves and large trees, this seems like paradise, but the story wards many intruders away."
2. Treetop Terrace - Click to See - "Located in the heart of the forest is a set of particularly tall trees, with worn, wooden structures hanging from the sturdy trunks. Having been built long ago, these bridges still hold together well, though it is advised one watches their step. The hanging platforms rise 60 feet above the ground, and though this seems frightening, the view makes it all worthwhile. The bridges sway as one walks onto them, and nothing is underfoot except a narrow piece of wood. At the end of each bridge is another connection, and a ladder to climb or descend from the treetops. The most spectacular view, however, comes from climbing to the tallest tree, onto a small, wooden terrace. It is no wonder, then, how Treetop Terrace receives its name. The view from this location is more than picturesque, as one is able to see most of Cercatori d'Arte from here.

3. Luminescent Lagoon - "This place is hidden under the light of day but at night it becomes much easier to see. The algae in the water causes the place to glow with a blue light. It is this light that shows the narrow path that leads from the coast and into the dense trees to find the hidden lagoon. While it isn't much to look at during the day it is a spectacular sight at night. The trees serve to hide this little paradise from all those who don't know where to find the path. And to add to the romanticism that this place has there is a grotto at one end of the lagoon, the cave encased place also being lit by the microscopic beings."
4. Hidden Glade - "Where a streams meets the forest, there's a thicket created by a ring of Jack Pine trees, gorwing close enough together that no wind can cut through. The stream breaks into a little pool of water, clean and filtered by the rocky outcrop that acts as a ledged wall to the north of it. Not very big, it works for a meeting point mostly, with plenty of logs and rocks for seating, and a nice bed of soft needles for easy walking. Very few know about this little patch of heaven, but those that do quickly learn to love it there. Because of the Jack Pines, it doesn't see a lot of snow during the winter. It's warm and stable, and a good place for luperci to hide away in."
5. Raptor's Watch - "Located on a hill with a steep drop off overlooking the bay on one side and a steady climb to it’s mouth on the other, Raptors Watch is decorated with the statue of a massive eagle engraved in stone, the bird faces the ocean as if watching over the sea, as if protecting the land from danger and harm. Worn with time and weather the bird still stands tall. Humans had created a large stone fireplace at the birds feet, though time has left the humans gone, the fireplace still stands sturdy. The location is prime for meetings and festivals, though the enchanting bird gives the hill mystery and history lost with the people who carved it. Legend says that touching the bird brings good health, and safe journeys."
6. Underground Hot Spring - "Down below the ground of D'Arte a natural formed hot spring lay ready and waiting. The water is crystal clear and is rather hot at times it'll even bubble, the body of water itself is rather large and could fit a lot of the pack in it. Rocks jutting upwards are scattered around in the water, perfect for someone to rest on and soak. There's also a little bit of ground aside from just the water so people can just idly sit, mind you it's not a lot of ground, though."
7. Painted Cove - "A sandy, small bay that in the northern part of Cercatori d'Arte, near Evergrowth Sunrise and runs along Bay of Fundy. Its enclosed by some trees, but there's plenty of room for everyone to have some fun in the sun. This patch of open, safe water is only waist deep without straying too far from the shore, and is a pretty safe place to hang out. It could also be empty at times, so it could be a perfect past to have some alone time. ;3 Wood often washes up on the shore, and there's a little pit where someone can light some firewood. At night, people can gather around the fire to have a good time, swap stories, and strut their stuff! The reason it is called Painted Cove because there's a small shake, and it could be decorated by an inspired painter."
8. Paradise Pier - "A remarkable place called Paradise Pier is nestled up against the beach of the Bay of Fundy and lies between the Hunting Lodge and Thornbury. It juts out into the bay and supports a curious little place. As you enter the pier an old iron archway welcomes you to the Paradise Pier Carnival. Several once-colorful buildings and skeletal rides still litter the pier, forever advertising sweet cotton candy and hot dogs, and reminding you to visit the fun house of mirrors. Time has taken its toll on the old carnival over the water, but the concrete supports of the pier have remained in tact. The Carnival is in dire need of a good cleaning and a splash of paint, but it will not be long until the spirit of Cercatori D'Arte discovers this old amusement park and breathes life back into the pier."
9. Tote Stadt - "Close to the West part of Cercatori d' Arte's territory borderlines lays a small town a about one mile away from the beach. It's small, but it is well preserved. The few houses that are still standing are made of a dark grey stone and they have dark red roofs, which makes them look a bit spooky. There are many thorny bushes growing all over the houses, so the place is well known among small animals (racoons, rabbits) for it's abundant blueberries. But the most interesting part is an old church on top of a small hill. The building itself is small, but next to it there is a small graveyard. The movement of the land made some graves pop out here and there, which gives it an even more spooky look. The place is settled on an open valley with some small trees surrounding the town and the graveyard.The church is still standing up, though the inside is a bit messed up, with glass broken and lying everywhere."
