1. Territory
The landscape of Midnight Shores, as well as Prince Edward Island in general, is a pastoral and breathtaking haven. Gentle, sloping hills, soft grass, and wild northern forests make up a large portion of the Shores pack’s territory.
The island’s natural ocean cliffs and famous brightly hued sand makes the territory a beautiful landscape to see and to live in - and due to preservation laws during humanity’s reign of the Earth, much of this land has been largely undisturbed save for quaint, sprawling towns.
Note: As Midnight Shores stretches from coast to coast, there is a small path manned by a Gerard in the Kingsweald forest that loners and outsiders can pass through to get to the other side. Merely have your character howl at the start of that path, and Gerard will soon appear to help him or her cross!

3. The Scarlet Coasts
Bordering Midnight Shores on the south side, the Scarlet Coasts stretch from end to end of its territory, providing a barrier in the form of the Northumberland Strait. Prince Edward Island’s famous red sand attributes to the name of these brilliant coasts. Near the city, the beaches begin as gentle, sloping sands, perfect for a picnic or a day of fun in the sun. As one goes south, however, the landscape transforms into stunning beach cliffs of an almost alien orange color. Some ocean caves can be seen dug into the face of the cliffs by the sea; during low-tide, they are wet and sometimes vast, and are perfect for exploring. Come high tide, however, some of the lower caves fill with water and can become dangerous. On the rockier beaches, one can see wildlife not commonly seen in other packs, such as Atlantic Puffins and Harp Seals. |
4. Charlottetown
Although it does not rival Halifax or St. John, Charlottetown is a formidable reminder of humanity’s past. Rather than tall skyscrapers like a city would have, Charlottetown is a large, sprawling suburban landscape of shorter, quaint houses and buildings. Based on the coast, the town has many harbors that are ideal for storing ships to cross the Northumberland Strait. Charlottetown also has several distinct neighborhoods with different attributes to them. Check out its wiki page to find out more or click the button below! |
SherwoodThe village of Sherwood is located in northeast Charlottetown, and was largely middle-class when it was built, sporting various upper-end, larger homes. Sherwood is divided into three different subsections.
Division 1: Skyview Skyview is the westernmost division in Sherwood, and has the easiest access to the harbor. Although much of its residences are old, time-weathered, and broken down, a few sturdy brick and cobblestone houses remain. The houses in this area are spread out with large plots of land around them, and tend to be large and multi-storied.
Division 2: Kingston Kingston is the central division of Sherwood as well as the largest. It occupies a small section of the harbor. Kingston contains most of Sherwood's houses that are still largely in tact. Its houses and plots of land are smaller than Skyview's, but are also sturdier and closer together, creating a sense of community. Many of its buildings have been reclaimed by nature, although there are certainly some well-preserved homes to be found in the division.
Division 3: Falconwood Falconwood is the easternmost division in Sherwood, and is also the smallest. The houses in Falconwood are largely rotted, dilapidated, and reclaimed by nature; they are still habitable by Luperci, however, and more feral Luperci may appreciate nature's claim on the abodes in this division.
East RoyaltySituated on the southern coast of Midnight Shores, this small section of the town is dominated by the Hillsborough Park - a series of apartments and small residences built in the late 60s and early 70s to support smaller families and single residents. Although much of this part of the city has been destroyed by time and weather, some buildings are still intact.
Division 1: Brighton Brighton is the central-most area in Charlottetown, and is also its 'main hub'. Home to the Province House, which is the main meeting hall of Midnight Shores as well as a main living residence, this area of the town is occupied by small, square houses that are packed tightly together as well as some apartment buildings. Although the higher floors of such buildings have fallen away in disrepair, the main floors are still able to be occupied by Luperci.
Division 2: Belle's Heights Belle's Heights, the central division of East Royalty, is home to most of the apartments and tiny living areas of Charlottetown. Although most of the living areas have been eroded away by weather over time, there are a few complexes that are still habitable - not to mention the various shops that litter the area.
Division 3: Yorke The smallest of all the divisions in Charlottetown, Yorke seems to be an extension of the Ruins, largely overtaken by nature and lending itself to broken down homes and unrecognizable buildings. However, there are gems to be found; smaller houses made of stone can still be found in-tact, and the soil here is quite fertile for those who like to garden. The pastoral fields are also close by for those who work with livestock.

5. Kingsweald
The Kingsweald is a vast forest stretching across the innards of Prince Edward Island. Although dotted with rural towns and farms, the area has since become completely wild again. The coastal areas of the Kingsweald forest boast sand dunes, beaches with pale sand, and a great number of bird species. Prey animals are in abundance throughout the area, especially deer and small mammals. In addition, the Kingsweald is home to various useful medicinal plants, as well as a few rarities found only within its bounds. The forest itself varies in its density; in some areas, the trees are so thick that the area's overwhelmed in the musky, earthy scent of pine, and the sun is shadowed by the trees' leaves. However, in other areas, the trees thin out enough so that one can see through them quite a distance; in other areas yet, the trees thin so much that it creates patchy clearings in the forest - breaks from its continuous vegetation. Not uncommon in Kingsweald is the sight of a cabin or a cluster of cabins, made from logs and left behind in the demise of humanity. Some are in worse condition than others, although many hold interesting things in their insides; some hunters of the past lay claim to some, leaving behind interesting hunting spoils. |
6. The Floral Meadows
Similar to the flower fields in the previous territory of Cercatori d'Arte, the Floral Meadows are a large expanse of flowering plants that took advantage of Midnight Shores's pastoral landscape. Overrunning part of the countryside, the plants have spread as far as the eye can see, giving life, beauty, and color to the large area in the pack. Some herbs can also be found here, as well as smaller animals that have made their homes among the flowers. |
7. The Cavendish Estates
The Cavendish Estates consist of both a sprawling piece of farmland and the second-largest town on the island. The Estates themselves are a sprawling farmland, once used to grow a wide variety of foods. Many of them can still be found growing, though the neat rows of planting have long since fallen into disarray. The town is low-slung and clustered around the two processing plants, boasting a racetrack and several decaying bars as primary entertainment. The sprawling complex's buildings tower above the housing, ominous and strange. Though not entirely unpleasant, the Cavendish Estates are a strange place for many Luperci. |
8. The Frigid Sands
The north coast of Midnight Shores lays claim to stretches of cool, white sands and a view of the northern sea. While the Scarlet Coasts speak beauty and fun, and give a vacation-like atmosphere and promise of the mainland across its strait, the Frigid Sands are more mysterious; the northern sea is as of yet unexplored, and the beaches here are smaller and more quiet. |
