The Isle of Sulfuria

Cherry Blossom Basin

Petals drift over the northern basin year-round, drawn from a stretch of cherry groves that somehow outlasted the collapse. Bamboo grows thick along the waterline — one of the few places on Sulfuria where you can hear birdsong over the groaning.

Mosswood Mire

Vine-choked canopy blots out the sky here, and the water underneath doesn't move right. Faction scouts report the densest horde activity on the continent threading between the roots — anything that goes quiet in the Mire stays quiet.

Redbank Flats

A river bends hard through a bowl of cracked red clay before opening onto rolling farmland. A lone watchtower still stands over the flats — whoever holds it can see a horde coming from half a continent away.

The Hollow Pines

Fog pools between the pines and never quite burns off. Sound doesn't travel far in the Hollow Pines, which cuts both ways — you won't hear the horde coming, but it won't hear you either.

Frostbound Ridge

Snow settles permanently above the treeline, and the wind carries a chill that outlasts any campfire. Hordes thin out fast at altitude — the ridge punishes the living and the dead in equal measure.

Ember Crater

The crater still glows. Forest presses right up against the scorched slope, close enough that the treeline looks like it's daring the mountain to erupt. No faction has held a base within sight of it for long.
