#1 -- MERSEY LAGOON
Territory Size: 3.4 square miles.
Approximate Location: Southwest of Shiloh Hills, since how the Mersey River is runs by there!
Could also be a subterritory, since I actually think it overlaps into that area but whatever. PICK WHATEVER YOU LIKE, K?
Territory Description: Named after a river which runs nearby, the lagoon is a former meadow-turned-floodplain that barely retains water half of the year. During the spring and summer and into early autumn months, the area is a muddy, murky pondlike swamp chock full of sinkholes that is occasionally flooded by 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 it's unappealing appearance, game in the form of deer and grouse frequently navigate its soft grounds.
#2 -- SERANA RESERVE
Territory size in square miles: 4.6 square miles
Approximate Location: It's not really a sub-territory but it'd be just by Ethereal Eclipse in the unexplored lands, in the grass area and not including the coast and peninsula.
Territory Description: Named after its founder, the reserve was always a place where unimaginative humans gathered to believe they were helping. Rather than relocating animals that truly needed the help to this reserve, they kept a small pack of wolves and several herds of wapiti in the area. The wolves didn't exactly flourish, having small numbers, versus the large number of wapiti and, therefore, 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. The spacious reserve has many spots where forest take over the open fields, containing a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees, but all fairly sparse and easy to navigate.
#3 -- BEAST'S GRIN PENINSULA
Territory size in square miles: 0.9 square miles
Approximate Location: N/A
Territory Description: Just to the west of Ethereal Eclipse stretches a thin peninsula dotted with shallow pools from the ocean. The peninsula is mostly submerged during high tide, but during the low tide it's a place prosperous in shellfish and miniature octopi. Rocks dot each of the tide pools, and near the Eclipse itself is a grassy knoll where picnics are ideal. In the night, the tidepools turn into dangerous obstacles over which one could easily twist their ankle which, along with the shape of the peninsula, helped to earn its eerie name.
#4 -- BLACKMOOR CASTLE
Territory size in square miles: 0.5 sqm? I dunno. >_<
Approximate Location: In the new territory, somewhere below Twilight Vale, along the atlantic coast.
Territory Description: Nestled into the cliffs bordering the atlantic ocean sits a wonder beyond belief: Blackmoor Castle. Thousands 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. The interior, although drafty still holds all the riches that he brought with him; tapestries, silver, gold and jewels. 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.
#5 -- BOHÉMIENS D'OCÉAN
Territory size in square miles: ? miles (The lower 1/4 of the unexplored lands?)
Approximate Location: The bottom part of the unexplored lands and the 2 small islands in the cove
Territory Description: bohémiens d'océan is the name of the cove where long ago gypsies used as a hideout to avoid persecusion and to store their loot. There's an old ocean liner that had become beached in the past and has been used as shelter in storms. There is rumored to be all sorts of treasures hidding on the two islands for those daring to explore it.
