Sub-TerritoriesAcheron Peak, Dark Plains, Tranquil Springs

The Foothills is one of the largest territories in the Souls land mass. It consists of a number of small hills and a few larger ones, as well as the beginnings of a mountain chain. The Foothills are tricky to navigate; there are many steep cliffs one can easily fall from, as well as larger ledges one can relax on. These lands are quite dangerous; if one loses footing, it's a short tumble to be impaled on the sharp, vegetation-free rocks below.

1.1  Acheron Peak

Acheron Peak lays a safe distance to the west of most of Bleeding Souls, and has lain dormant for years- at least in terms of an actual eruption. Hot lava continues to boil beneath the surface, and even during the coldest winter months it seems warmer here. A lake has formed in the volcano's caldera, and a small river runs down the mountain, although it possesses a strange reddish tint. Also of interest are the hot springs bubbling up at random locations on the mountain; if one can overcome the stench of sulphur, they provide a wonderful opportunity for relaxation.

1.2  Dark Plains

Tucked away in the northernmost corner of Bleeding Souls lies the Dark Plains. They are completely secluded away from everything else, and traveling to this place proves near impossible, as the trail is treacherous and filled with obstacles one would not face even if heading for the Tranquil Springs. The place always seems to be in shadow, as if dark spirits linger, just beneath the ground. Steep, sharp cliffs loom over both sides of this territory, blocking out the sun for three fourths of the day.

Map

Bubbling gently, noisily over rocks and other obstacles, there is one main stream with a myriad of smaller tributaries and creeks and streams that feed off of the main stream. There are all sorts of pools, waterfalls, and brooks running throughout this place. Surrounding the water is mostly sand or dirt; the leaves of the trees are all an unnaturally bright shade of green. This gives the place a paradise's appeal, as if the coldest, freshest water in the whole of Bleeding Souls were not enough to lure wolves to this place. However, one must take caution, for entering this place is not so easy as it might seem. The springs are nestled carefully within the deadly Foothills.
