| Area Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Winterland 🏔 | A disaster of a long winter storm struck the northern lands during the era of the Vikings and Nomads, causing some anomalies events, like a few existences of highly dangerous cryptids that are beyond natural perception. This phenomenon also affects geographic significance, oddly freezing the deep ocean, moisture flames, deep frost caverns, many sudden appearances of high-freezing mountains (recorded to even surpass the earth's atmosphere), and other bizarre appearances. Only a few notes record some of these explored effects come from an adventurer. |
| Boreal Birch Forest 🌲 | A region veiled in cold mystery, shimmering trees twist, and those who wander into its heart rarely return. Those who do, speaks of flickering shadows, unseen eyes watching from between the trunks, and the chilling feeling of being hunted by something ancient and unseen. Unlike areas transformed into Winterland, the forest remains eerily unchanged. While other regions seen an increase in beasts and cryptic sightings, the birch forest felt like a realm of silence and stillness. Hunters who once braved its depths have long abandoned it, the forest itself now feels hostile to human presence, and many avoid its an unnatural invitation to death. |
| Mt. Yavhlix 🗻 | "Hence, thou that drawest nigh. Within this mount abideth the kingdom, wherein perisheth each heart that beareth hope..." |

One tragic night, in desperation, he wandered into a haunted forest, seeking any means to delay the starvation, which eventually led him getting lost. Lying helplessly, dying with hunger, one of the trees whispered his name, and in that deep darkness, he met a figure, an unnatural face made of mold, offering a daunting deal. In exchange for his soul, an eternal harvest and reaping. A trade was struck. Awaken with satiated self, he returns, the fields around him flourished, the village is saved. Crops grew fast, and the price for harvest began to reveal itself. With each harvest, some would die, their souls swallowed, a fertilizer. Wracked with guilt and terror, Gorran tried to end it at a faraway hill, but the curse had taken its root. His body, slowly twisted into scarecrow, haunted by spirits of hopeless wails of reaped soul that drove him to helplessness. His face forms inward, now holes, distorted, reeks of famine and rancid odor, his clothing dampened and tattered, stacked leathers of former residents. Now, Skrægore stays at the hill of cursed wheat fields, silent and forever mournful. His scythe remains in side, a tool in defense of the people he failed to protect. Orphans was seen wander to his domain, somehow drawn to the haunting figure. Some rumored he watches over them in silence, for all of them returns safely, but anyone else will be gone. |
