MOUNT SOLSTICE (MAPPED BY AQUA)

---

"Friends! Friends! Let's go play with the snow and do some cool stuff! I wonder if the nice lady has some cool stories today, too..."
 
Amongst the snowy lands of Lordwain lived a once beautiful mountain that became a tourist attraction, now left abandoned after ice monsters seized the area. It has seen better days.
 

 
An ice cave had been reformed into a gesture of honor to a leading figure known as Illsa. For decades, she was a rather popular woman that passed away when her husband mistakingly provoked the wrath of a powerful monster horde, which resulted in an aggressive invasion. The cave became a safe haven and a gravesite for those that did their best in protecting the area, with Illsa's grave being the most obvious and being well-kept by unknown people. Some adventurers claim to hear a few words when they leave the cave...
 

 
"You will always be welcome to our home. May your heart be the guide to your future."

FORGOTTEN CEMETERY (MAPPED BY AQUA)

---

"Don't even think about going inside. That place is most definitely haunted by evil spirits..."

 

Rumor has it that there's a strange, purple portal in Sigrogana that leads to a magic dimension permeated by a constant sense of dread...

 

 

Of course, there's always those far too curious for their own good. Adventurers have made the attempt to explore the area without much success, as creatures of the dark always seek to devour the souls of the innocent. Some experts say that this powerful phenomenon is actually the abandoned lair of a fallen Necromancer, slain by the blade of a Paladin in shining armor. The hero presumably died a short time after his victory.

 

 

"I don't feel safe here at all!"

WHISPERING WOODS (MAPPED BY APPO)

---

"Woah! It's so beautiful..."

 

A popular topic amongst fanatics of fairy tales is the existence of a magic forest in Sigrogana. The area's beautiful nature has caught the eyes of many, but what's more special is that rumors saying there are flowers echoing the voices of travelers that have entered it in the past.

 

 

...Unfortunately, the place is filled with hostile monsters and even deadly looking plants, so not many people have tried to stay there for long. Maybe it's not all that fairy tale-ish after all. Yikes.

 

 

"I'd rather not be some plant's dinner, thanks."

SOMBER SKIES (MAPPED BY APPO)

---

"So high!"

 

Once a memorial grounds inhabited by Herons, rumors of a bed of clouds above a mountain drew the attention of all different kinds of curious adventurers.

 

 

However, a great deal of adventurers have a fear of heights and with ample cause; a single misplaced step upon this cloud could very well spell certain death. Despite its fluffy appearance, the air surrounding these clouds carry a somber tale.

 

 

"I wonder how it felt to live in here..."
