The Bushes
Scraggly little things, they are just tall enough to be annoying. They go up to about your knee and are coated with prickaly leaves and snappable sticks. Because of the lack of moisture, the plants have adapted to get along with very little water. If you bleed on them, they will drink your blood. Very diffivult to traverse through, in most cases you can walk in the gravely gaps in between them. Do not eat. Poisonous and pokey.
The WatchersThese are white birds that blend in with clouds. About an arm's length long, they hunt in most other areas of the world, but in the Bushlands they are scavengers. With some folk, they've been known to try to speed up the process of dying. One time I woke up to find one trying to make off with my wrist.
The ThornliversThese guys are little and, as per their name, live in thorn bushes. They probably have some scientific name, but I call them this because it makes sense. From what I can tell, they eat the bush seeds. Fast brown birds with long black beaks, they're difficult to catch because they take refuge in either the bushes or little burrows they make. Even if you do catch them, do not eat. They have very little meat and very poisounus stomachs. They are the only thing in the Bushlands that won't kill you.
The Vricks My advice if you see a Vrick: run and hide. Now you may ask, how do I know if I've seen a Vrick? I'll give you a hint. They're the only moving things in the Bushlands other than birds. Because I usualy follow my own advice when I see them, I cannot give you a clear description. What I do know is, they stand about waist high and run in packs of four to ten. They are fast, and do not seem to be bothered by the bushes. I see them most in the mornings and evenings, aka prime walking time. Also, they are bloodthirsty brutes who's only goal is to rip you limb from limb.Natural Resources
History
Tourism
1. Avoid the Bushlands if at all possible. Go around if you can, even if its signficantly longer.
2. Never travel alone.
3. Move quickly. The longer you stay in one place, the larger the danger of Vricks finding you.
4. Bring your own water and food. There are no things to eat in the Bushlands, only things waiting to pick the flesh off your rotting bones. Cheerful, isn't it?
5. Don't do stupid things, like looking for Vricks or holding impomptu yodeling competitions in echoy locations.
6. Bring something to hack at the bushes and any other assailants with
7. Pray.
