A mysterious land of fog and smog, shrouded by mist, this region harbors several swamps within its lakes and ponds. It is whispered that magic exists here, but none can be sure as they fight through the heavy mists of the bog - but one can witness true beauty if they remain patient in its western reaches.

Bear Pass
Filter ForumBear Pass
A moor that serves as a seasonal route for bears as they traverse down toward the salmon run. It is open and wide, with a few hollows nestled in the gentle hills as a burrow for small critters. It is quite common to see bears wandering contentedly nearby, although it is more common still to find them fighting - being a popular place during the mating season.
Hangman's Hollow
Filter ForumHangman's Hollow
Fog encases this otherworldly forest, drawing in strangers with an eerie pull as the light seems to vanish the further in one wanders. Tall, jagged pine trees are densely packed, adding further confusion when attempting to navigate its dark, innermost reaches; yet should one find themselves adept enough, they might be rewarded with a misty shoreline opening out into the waters.
Honey Meadow
Filter ForumHoney Meadow
Home to a large variety of wildflowers, the meadow is strewn about with hundreds of bees and their hives. A few scattered trees stand nearby, nearly all of them covered by the local wildlife and their honey caches, making it a popular destination for bears to come scavenge their nectar. This area is connected to a river full of salmon, creating an even greater allure.
Lake's Halo
Filter ForumLake's Halo
A place of extraordinary mystery, in the middle of a vast lake sits an island. No ordinary patch of land, this island holds what some call the World Tree - far larger than any can imagine, it towers out from a dense fog and seems to have a pull of its own, inviting those who see it to utter long-unspoken prayers. At the base of this tree is a small hollow, wherein two skeletal bodies lay entwined in an everlasting embrace, overgrown with flowers and ivy as the earth slowly takes them. None can stay too long, however, almost as if it curses those who loiter; conjuring strange apparitions and turning local wildlife hostile toward any who might linger past their welcome. This place is unclaimable, but its purpose is truly magical in nature.
Lapis Nestle
Filter ForumLapis Nestle
A charming open woodland with an abundance of lush trees overlapping and interlocking with one another. Enchantingly lovely with a myriad of blue & lilac wildflowers densely populating the forest floor, it is a perfect haven for the plethora of morpho butterflies that can be found soaring throughout the open spaces between the trees - from which it has earned the title of ‘Lapis’.
Malevolent Grounds
Filter ForumMalevolent Grounds
Ominous and dreary, this place radiates sinister intent despite the life which flourishes amid its blackened sands. A gloomy pallor hangs over the area, shrouded in a low fog, seemingly rolling out from the pines ringing the edges of the shore. Almost fittingly, blackbirds choose to nest near this eerie beach.
Mistveil
Filter ForumMistveil
Forever embraced by low-hanging clouds and a heavy mist in the forests below, the mountain holds an enchanted feeling - more curious than frightful. A forested vale can be found in its lower reaches while a great lake rests at its base, holding water melted from the glaciers of the mountain itself as small waterfalls and streams continually pour into its reservoir, creating an icy fog that dissipates as it touches the warm earth.
Morningstar Mountain
Filter ForumMorningstar Mountain
The tallest mountain known to the continent, some say you can touch the stars when you reach the top. It overlooks most of the regions without any effort, lending a view like no other. The sky twinkles alluringly overhead, making its peaks a desirable destination for romantics and star-watchers alike. It is also a welcome home to several herds of deer within its surprisingly dense forests.
Overgrowth Strand
Filter ForumOvergrowth Strand
Broken down and left in disarray, remnants of the past are now overgrown and left to the elements as even the trees themselves work to shroud the forgotten ruin within their roots. The halls and rooms of this place are empty, devoid of all signs of life except that which was built so many centuries ago - and those who enter its walls now. A low fog drifts lazily through the outer courtyard, swirling playfully near any who disturb it.
Queen's Rest
Filter ForumQueen's Rest
A small isle off of the west coast, this place can be seen in its full glory even from a far distance. Covered by alluring wisteria, the island is a serene landscape, regal and surreal as if belonging to a dream. An old temple resides somewhere within, shrouded by the many purple wisteria trees growing there, their branches clinging reverently over the ruins as if they are one entity - and one with the isle itself.
Shimmering Bay
Filter ForumShimmering Bay
The Shimmering Bay is aptly named, for it is a gem in the sea, dappled in a veil of seemingly perpetual sunlight. If one can overcome the chaos of the sea, one shall undoubtedly find serenity on these soft, sandy shores. The sound of the ocean seems to drift away, leaving naught but silence and peace for pondering minds. Shrubs and lowland flowers line the edges of the shore, adding a dash of color and giving way to a sparse field (perfect for sunbathing on the mainland). Stop, listen, and reflect... for there may be prizes abound, washed up from the ocean's depths.
Silent Streams
Filter ForumSilent Streams
No one is sure what was held here, whether it was a temple, a castle, or a church, but now all that remains are crumbling ruins amid a swamp that has slowly laid claim to its ancient stonework. Remnants of its former glory sit forlornly in the water, but there is still much to see in the way of hidden passageways and secrets - even as the water slowly rises.
Tempest Rising
Filter ForumTempest Rising
The mountain itself is by no means unusual, and even the forests held within a low fog are uneventful - yet the area coins its name for its unusual luck. For reasons unknown it is the first place storms tend to travel, where thunder utters its early approach. Looming black clouds seem to linger overhead for weeks on end, creating a dangerous place for any who choose to stick around while the close sound of low rumbling echoes above…
Twilight Grove
Filter ForumTwilight Grove
An active and lively swamp, there is always the sound of song, whether it be from the unusual array of rare birds or the many exotic insects that dwell here. Dancing lights can often be seen in the distance, whether from bioluminescent mushrooms or glowing fireflies that populate this mystic place; yet its true beauty is seen from gazing into the glasslike surface of the lake, particularly beneath the light of the full moon.
