Dead Zone
by hughpierre
Geography
The dead zone is a politically denoted place in the western half of the Quetzal Crescent. The trade paths along the shadow pass, and parts of northernmost Salt Side , act as the defacto border regions that make up the Dead Zone.
Deathpool acts as the western demarcation point between Taulli and Warg territories. As a result, the Deathpool's shores are mostly deserted.
Taulli actively participate in aggressive raids on the borders of their collective realms with non-taulli to destroy any settlement found there and kill potential animal game. This is in order to discourage future immigration and to prevent habitation by other peoples.
Ecosystem
In addition to the genocidal policy, however, it is also that the levels of salt in Salt Side's ground makes growing consumable plant life impossible. Thus, this entire side of the valley is considered 'dead' by Taulli.
