Deadwood

The area of Cootkatou known as Deadwood stands as a cruel contrast to the rest of the Region's lively atmosphere. Should you ever have the misfortune of stepping into Deadwood, you'll notice that the earth itself seems to want to swallow you whole. The strange muddy purple earth devoid of grass might as well be quicksand. What remains of the trees are like charcoal in both texture and color, breaking into dust with the least amount of applied pressure. The very air is stagnant and suffocates with every breath. What can only be called a pond or a river by name bubbles and burns like grey acid leaving behind clouds of toxic gas smelling of sulfur. It is unfortunate that a part of the Great river Nereinesis passes through this section of the forest. Whatever nourishment its waters provides is altogether lost and wasted on this cursed land. Furthermore, the Deadwood has been eroding away at the Northern side and now, its corruption sinks down into the Canyons of the Senholdo Region making what is already a harsh land that much more dangerous.

Many Terranians believe this to be the point of origin where everything in Terra went wrong. The beginning of the end. People believe that the Deadwood is where the tragic mutations that terrorize the world as monsters initially spawned.
