The Southern Wilds
The Southern Wilds: A Land of Untamed Mysteries
The Southern Wilds is a sprawling and untamed expanse of rugged terrain, dense forests, and ancient hills, existing as a buffer zone between the Kingdom of Melchiora and the Wetlands. This untamed region defies permanent settlement, not only because of its harsh environment but due to the ever-present threat of dungeons that emerge unpredictably across the landscape. These dungeons—dark, twisting labyrinths filled with danger and treasure—make the Wilds a magnet for adventurers but a nightmare for settlers.
At the heart of the Southern Wilds lies Ashara's Cradle, a vast, verdant jungle teeming with life and mystery. The Cradle is said to be sacred, imbued with ancient energies, and whispered to be under the watchful eye of Ashara, a legendary figure who embodies the spirit of the wild. While the Pact maintains loose control over parts of the Wilds, the region remains fiercely independent and resistant to organized rule, with its dangers ensuring that no civilization can claim dominion over it for long.
The Southern Wilds are a testing ground for those seeking glory, riches, or simply survival, where the line between civilization and chaos blurs, and the ever-present specter of dungeons serves as a reminder of the land’s untamed nature.
