[ SETTING ]

Ashfall Labyrinth:
Old labyrinth ruins that seem to go on forever. When the now slumbering volcano erupted centuries ago, it colored the sand and stone in this area gray and black with ashfall.
Occasionally it stills snows ash. It is said this means the spirit of Entei is watching over the travelers passing through.

Coral Cove:
Half a day away from the shores of Eithos, surrounded by rough ocean lies a calm body of water known as Coral Cove.
A large cave is hidden in gorgeous coral growth and houses many treasures. This dungeon is popular with treasure hunters and collectors, but its location makes it hard to explore.

Glacier Fields:
Icy fields of shifting glaciers. Aside from the ever changing surroundings, the temperature is your biggest enemy. The days are cold and the nights are freezing.
This area is no stranger to blizzards. It's rumored that a group of bandits has made this place their home, as only the toughest and roughest will be able to live here.

Hollow Grove:
A grove that lies within Azalea forest. Though it appears to be the most serene place in Azalea, Hollow Grove houses many small underground dungeons and ruins that are connected by dark tunnels.

Meadow Hills:
Rolling fields covered in wildflowers. A popular place for travelers of all kinds.

Petal Beach:
A pearly white beach covered in pink and white rugosa petals east of Rugosa Settlement. At first sight, this place may seem peaceful, but many secrets, hideouts and even caves lie between these dunes.

Redwood Wilds:
Near Acacia Lake, a part of the forest is overtaken by huge redwood trees. These trees are so enormous that pathways have been carved right through them.
It might be hard to find what you are looking for when visiting this forest, many things are hidden here; treasures, bandits, and if you search hard enough, even houses high up in the trees.
They say that thunder echoes through the canopy when Raikou is charging through these woods, and its spirit creates new pathways for lost travelers.

Snowfall River:
A wide icy river in a heavily snow covered area. The rough waters keep it from freezing over.
This river was once connected to the ocean, but has been closed off by a dam built by Amaryllis villagers.
The water is home to old shipwrecks frozen in time from when it was still used to sail out to sea.
They say that the water is kept clear and rough by Suicune as its spirit crosses the river.

Stalagmite Dens:
In the side of MT. Magnolia lay deep caves with elaborate stalagmite structures growing denser the deeper you travel.
It is discouraged to enter the Stalagmite Dens alone as it's easy to get lost or even hurt when stalagmite pillars come down without warning.
Crystals and other minerals and metals have been brought back from these caves, and are a popular reason for travelers and bandits to set out through the Dens, in spite of warnings.

Temple Ruins:
If you enter the Old Temple at twilight, the last rays of sun beam through the rubble, striking the altar and bathing the walls in light. After this, the entrance to a dungeon beneath the Temple will be revealed.
Not much is known about the dungeon, as very few explorers have returned to speak of them.
_{- The Temple ruins are off limits.}

Whispering Wasteland:
A barren desert. Its proving to be a tough job to stay alive in this wasteland as the scorching sun and sandstorms show no mercy.
It's rumored that a group of bandits has made this place their home as a way to prove themselves, as only the toughest and roughest will be able to live here.
Many lone travelers will speak of the wind whispering to you as you travel trough the wasteland. Some say this is because they'd gone delirious from dehydration or heat stroke, but there are those that believe spirits of past travelers who were lost to the sands still haunt their desert graveyard.
