The Wild

Deep, dark, sunny, foggy. Encircling the City and acting as a boundary to the ocean lies an expanse of trees that could only be considered a wild maze. It's miles or no mile at all to the other side, a journey that can be completed in five steps or five hours, but there's always something to block your path. It could be sweet smelling flowers. It could be an elusive stag. It could be shadowy predators who make the woods their home, slinking about like ink spilling over parchment. North, South, East, West, each of the four directions houses a ladder to another maze of the flora and fauna sort. Going everywhere and nowhere these paths explore an unthought of side of the forest depths and the places dotted along the way only keep the explorer wondering and wandering.

Characters can make their home in the forests if they wish or even run a small business from the woods if that's their prerogative! As with other parts of the City, just because it isn't listed doesn't mean it isn't there. Players can have their characters find streams, waterfalls, meadows, caves, etc. For the most part the forest in the City is a temperate deciduous forest. Other types may be found in Xanadu.

&drowning pool [1]
The City's biggest lake. Depthless and placid, clear blue and dangerously murky, this lake is always the perfect temperature for swimming and teeming with fish to catch. Located in the southern expanse of the forest, nearer the City than some may like, it also plays home to a few very special pets that should be disturbed only at your own risk. Like the beaches, the shores of this lake can range from rocky to sandy. It's large enough that there's something for everybody.

&the wreck [1] [2] [what it used to be]
Located in the center at the bottom of the City's biggest lake. This used to be a place some citizens might remember but every trace of its history has been submerged. Now all that remains is an underwater maze, worthy of exploration...if you want to run the risk of getting lost or trapped. Brave the deep if you dare because the surface is certainly enticing.

&dipping pool [summer] [winter]
A slightly smaller lake situated in the northeast expanse of the woods. There are no ruins here and there are no lake monsters...most of the time. During the winter this lake does not freeze over so you'll have to visit the other one to get your ice skates on! Neither does this mean the temperature of the water is perfect for skinny dipping under snowfall. Hardly.

We're now using player comments to organize Destinations so players can add, remove, and edit their locations as they see fit. Fill out this form and post it as a comment to the section you want once you've worked out the details of the destination or after you've received mod approval for a destination in question (only some locations require mod approval, if you have questions see Zoning Laws). After that, head over to the Map Entry if you wish to add it to the City Map!
