Arbres de la Falaise - The sheer walls of the cliffs that rise majestically above the crashing waves support a second, verdant world above them. To those willing to make the arduous climb, or hike around the imposing stone, there is a lush forest thriving at the top. Prey animals such as deer and rabbits have bred uninterrupted for too many moons, so the land is ripe with natural resources.

-Ajithn Orchid-
This place is close to the beach but sits along the edge of the thick forest. Used many years ago for harvesting fruits for food and profit, it still grows each year with rich fruits. This Orchid can provide a supply of food and also bring in deer and elk that enjoy the flavor of the fruit. A relaxing place to sit as in the spring the ground is filled with bright pink blossoms that cover the area.

-Chien Hotel-
A large several story abandoned Hotel that is located just off the beach at the western side of the territory. Chien Hotel is in good condition, it has a few broken windows and minor repairs but otherwise this is the main headquarters of pack. Hidden within the thick trees as it has a large metal gate surrounding it, this gives the hotel a dark but powerful look. Among the many rooms and hall ways it has a large basement and wine cellar.

-Tanvo Swamp-
This place is one of the dark and wariest place within the packlands. Tanvo is within the woodlands past the Orchid, one wouldn't notice the change of area very quickly. The swamp usually has a thick fog and smells strong of salt, due to the fact most of the water here is salt water. This swamp can easily get rid of a body, and with small tar in it's thick water something can be pulled down alive. Only those who live here know how to walk this area calmly without a worry

Niobrara Racetrack and Stables

Nestled in the middle part of Cour des Miracles territory is the Niobrara Racetrack and Stables. In the days of the humans it was a popular place to go watch the races and gamble, but it has been neglected ever since the once dominant race's demise. Despite that, it has weathered considerably well. The oblong track is still visible, though covered in overgrown grass and weeds. The stadium seating is also still intact, though hardly safe. The stables are the real treasure trove of Niobrara however. The stalls are still intact and can easily accommodate at least fifty horses. There are also plenty of bridals, blankets, and saddles to be found. It is the perfect place to house and train a horse.

Laudine River

The Laudine River starts not far from the borders of the territory and flows into the Atlantic ocean. It is a peaceful river for the most part, it's current no danger to any fairly competent swimmer. The waters are a serene clear blue that become increasingly more green tinted as it reaches the ocean. As it reaches the coast there is a small waterfall that the river flows down and a calm pool where the mouth of the river opens before flowing out into the sea.

Laudine Oasis

The Laudine Oasis is the waterfall and pool that lay on the beach before the river flows out into the Atlantic. True, it may not be situated in a desert, but few would argue this oasis of its inherit charm. The waterfall contrasts nicely against the sound of the not-so-distant waves and the pool is wide and calm, a perfect place for a pup to play in the water and not risk getting swept away. Cool waters provide ample relief on hot summer days


Old Mission;
http://ridingforadventure.com/images/Mission.jpg
A mission from the days of the humans. The structure itself is in prime condition despite needing several coats of paint. The roof is in need of repairs but re-shingling would fix up the damage in no time. Despite it's simple exterior, the inside is decorated with all the trimmings that the King could possibly want. It is the King's Court, where pack meetings occur.

Surrounding the mission are gardens, which the humans had kept well tended but have now become overgrown. The flowers bloom like weeds and every large clump of bush hides a rabbit or two.

Hatchery:

When the humans were still in charge, they built this fish hatcher on the Peninsula that juts into the pack's territory. It is overfilled with fish that have adapted to living out their lives in the ponds and large ocean traps. The buildings have become derelict and unstable. A strong crash into the wall would make the structure collapse though the roof is whole and does not leak


St. Reed's Windmill

Build more as a fortress than a regular old mill St Reed's pumps water up for the livestock that use to occupy the fields that bordered the forest. Not only does the water still run clean from the mill but if one was to explore the inner workings of the windmill they would find that from the height they could see from miles around. St. Reed's is an excellent outpost, and in past times was actually used as one during the times of the human wars. Now it just sits lonely on the grassy knoll, the eerie groaning of the sails turning in the wind the only company granted.

Scrappy's Junkyard
On the outskirts of Lenenburg lies an old scrap metal yard, hidden behind rusting walls of tin and barb wire the placed hides the empty shells of old cars, piles of crushed cans, sheets of tin and steel, scrap iron and an old compactor. Towering high above the place is the large crane and magnetic system to move heavy large loads of metal from one spot to another. The place use to be guarded by six or seven large burly dogs but over the years they've escaped and left the place to rust in time.



Lunenburg
The port town of Lunenburg lies on the western part of Mahone Bay, the harbor still holds all sorts of seaworthy vessels from tiny dingies to fishing boats and even swift schooners. Tourism was one of Lunenburg's main sources of income in the reign of humans and that still shows with the number of restaurants, inns, hotels and shops that use to serve the tourist trade. From the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic, and HB Studios, to the Lunenburg Opera House there's something for everyone.

Halifax Marina

A small, abandoned harbor towards the northern end of CdM territory that consists of a muti-branched dock with several vessels tied to it. Although most of the boats have fallen into disrepair, there is an old bait shop and a ship repair, dry-dock of sorts at the marina, with various tools that can still be found in the many tool chests within the facilities. The bait shop contains lots of old fishing gear, including various fishing poles, nets, buoys, etc. most of which are still useable. Also of note at the marina, is a reasonably large sailing ship dubbed The Vagabond, which is moored at the very end of the pier. Once owned by a wealthy man from Halifax, the vessel was designed purely for pleasure, although it is also engineered to endure the occasionally rough seas off the Nova Scotia coastline. In short, this Marina provides a way for the members of Cour des Miracles to engage in various ocean-related activities, such as fishing or simply pleasure cruising.

Hotel Red
Hotel Wreck is an old hotel that is now of course abandon. It stands near the woods, but relativly close to the shattered coast. The hotel is large and was once a beautiful white four story building. Now the paint has worn away leaving it old and tattered looking. But other then some roof problems the hotel is in great shape. Thirty five rooms open for the pack to use, the hotel is a blessing to the pack. What is unusual to the Hotel is that it is surrounded in hundreds of thousands of red roses. All year except for winter the flowers are in bloom causing the white hotel to be surrounded in a sea of red. The roses grow up the trelaces on the side of the huge building and some onto the roof. The best rose garden around.

House In a Tree
In the middle of the woods a huge tree larger then any other for miles stands with a building built into it. The tree house is huge. The large house is in good condition and taken care of by the pack. A ladder is built into the large trees trunk to climb up into it's huge shady branches where you can get into the large house build into it.

The tunnel
The tunnel is an old abandon train tunnel in the middle of Cour Des Miracles woods. The tunnel stretches for 400 yards. A dark cave to protect any passer by from the rain. It is also a good spot to hide while stalking prey. The tunnel has no tracks for the train that once whent through it. Only the bricks that make it up stay. It's built into a hill so the train could once pass thorugh, trees have grown above it leaving it all but invisible when you stand to the side or on top of it. It truely is a good hiding place.
