Honeycomb Forest

A dangerous forest that fills the northeast of Ptitheros just before the altitude of the landscape rises, the honeycomb forest is full of dense trees. These trees have porous trunks, their roots can grab animals, and their canopy resembles hardened honey rather than leaves. The honeycomb forest becomes denser in some areas, these zones closer to the World's Maw are called the Aurix Caesin.

Broken Plateau

A landscape that covers the southwestern zone of the honeycomb forest, the plateau was once home to many of the trees but over time became sporadic in its growth. Trees decayed and never grew, the grass became thin and fossilised right after death, then the ground began to break apart. A curse upon the land, the area was once a prized hunting ground for the kingdom of Chaveri, but when the kingdom fell, much of the landscape it called home also followed such disrepair. The plateau has trenches and cracks everywhere, making the lands a dangerous place that must be explored carefully, for falling into a crack would bring a victim into the many caverns that loop throughout the Aurix region.

Eastern Jungle

The Eastern Jungle is an unclaimed territory zone filled with lush greenery and massive trees. In the undergrowth, it is dark, a place of danger, but there are many copses of trees surrounding areas of grass and large flocks of foes that go about their meaningless lives. The canopy is no stranger to tree-houses of those who like to live off the land, and caverns weaving between the mounds of dirt piled between old trees are common.

East Volcanic Inlet

The eastern ashland is a volcanic set of islands sprouting from the eastern shoreline. The winds are hot, sharp, and bite at the black sands of the islands, forever pushing them outwards into the sea or up the docile mountains. The main volcano on the central island on the chain is known as the Melder's Volcano, due to the many stories of it once being His preferred home.

  • Chaveri Caverns
    The Aurix region covers a vast maze of caverns that have openings on the surface and can travel all the way down to the subterranean magma zone (close to the first mantle layer). Underground rivers, underground lakes, underground growth, the caverns have many mysteries to uncover and explore. Somewhere within the vast complex are what remains of the Chaveri capital, its ruins standing the test of time in the stagnant environment of the cavern systems. Its residents, too, roam the caverns to this very day. Most Ptithians know these ancient residents as windiages.
  • Great Heart of the Hive
    Somewhere in the deep, deep dark depths of the Honeycomb Forest lies a large honeycomb tree. Its roots span for over a kilometer and dig deep into the forest floor. Rusty orange water pools between the roots and feeds the ancient tree. Weather does not affect this small, strange area of the forest, but a faint pulsing sound can be heard coming from the tree’s trunk. It feels like something more alive than a mere plant is there, but nobody dares cut into the tree. Very few have laid eyes on it, let alone escaped the forest after venturing so far into the Bramble Maze just to see it.
  • Bramble Maze
    They say that those who stray too far into the honeycomb forest without any company may encounter a wall of thorns. Traveling along this wall will eventually lead to an entrance to a maze made of thorny walls. There is no confirmed location to this thorny maze, so research and encounters to pull information from is limited.
