Climate

Climate here is similar to any other place in East T@Ö#Å3 - mostly just hot any dry all year round, with not much rain even during the rainy season.

The suns here are black sun and golden sun, two of the hottest ones, and even then Haunted region only experiences a little of golden sun, which is generally less worse. "Rainy seasons" here are mostly actually pretty dry too, but since the rest of the world isn't doing much this month, neither do people living here.

Nature

Due to its proximity to Haunted Forest, you'll find some dead trees, dead flowers, but you'll also see some mousebirds and blackbirds. It definitely could be a lot worse, but you won't find any spectacular nature beatuy here either way.

Towns & People

Towns

Towns here are pretty different form what you might see in West T@Ö#Å3, or even wester parts of East T@Ö#Å3. This is considered to be the richest region in this part of the world, but it's wealth is still nothing in compare to many other parts of the world.

One interesting thing about this part of the world is its architecture. People here live in large lavish mansions that give off the impression of being somewhat abandoned. Being located right here in East T@Ö#Ä3, next to Haunted Forest and Wasteland, this just seems to be the look of the area, but while many other buildings here just can’t seem to afford a perfect upkeep, people living here could very well afford it, but make their houses look like this intentionally. They seem just as unkempt as many other buildings, but if you look closely, every crack in the wall or a tear in the wallpaper is very strategically placed. The dry dead shrubbery in front of the houses always stays just out of the way from the important paths and the floorboards creak at just the right spots. Everything in these houses is just exactly where it needs to be, to make them look old and abandoned, but yet doesn’t interfere with the cozy and safe lives that people here wish to live.

The buildings here are built of heavy dark stone and adorned with numerous statues and wall carvings of strange and mysterious creatures from our, or even ancient mythology. Stony monsters and demons are sitting perched on fences, guarding their owner’s homes along with tall, spiky iron fences. The statues in gardens are strategically overgrown with dead flowers, and every house that it’s worth something has at least one tall tower with a spiky roof. Even with all the living people here, this still is, most of all, the city of the dead and it definitely looks like it. It’s the last stop in the realm of the living before the literal Hell.

People

Apart from regular mole people, you'll encounter freaks and moth fairies. If you wander too close to the forest, you may even run into some spirits of the ancient dead people.

People here tend to live lifestyles similar to those of bat people. They’re more interested in everything sinister and death related, and how could they not be, considering they live so close to Haunted Forest. People elsewhere in the world might be skeptical, but to people here, the spirits are just a part of regular daily life - for the most part at least. Though spirits are always present here, most people are still cautious around them. You thought moth fairies can be dangerous and unpredictable? Well these spirits can be even worse. They’re nothing but an unhinged emotional force which results in hauntings for many of those houses. Sure, many move here exactly because of that - they might be aspiring mediums, wishing to communicate with the dead or just think having a haunted house would be cool and edgy. However, many of these people soon realize that having a haunted house is anything but pleasant. The constant anguished wailing of ghosts, turning on TVs, slamming doors and so on might drive one crazy. But, people here need to learn to coexist with the being nonetheless.

Generally, people here all tend to keep to themselves, they life in smaller families and don't really trust anyone - and you shouldn't trust them either to be honest.
