Closeby and Nowhere The plateau of Terminus Excidetus is much larger than one would expect. This subforum contains every place that is somewhere between the other ones outside the town. So if you don't know where exactly to post, just post here and give an approximate description of where this place is, if you wish. On a side note: Most of the terrain is grassland...

Farms and Cottages Around the Town, there is quite a number of farms with cornfields and meadows. After all, people need to eat! The farther away you get from the urban area, the less frequent you come across one of those places that sometimes even seem to form little villages.

The World's End Close to the southern cliff that -like every other side - no one is known to have ever been able to pass, there is a tavern/pub/inn where you are very likely to find one of the many adventurers trying to get further beyond the town's boundaries.

The Rune Tree Not far away from the World's End, there is a gnarled tree of about 12 feet height.
Mysterious symbols have been engraved into it, hence, the name. Magically inclinded persons uttered they felt strong mystic vibes from the direction of that tree...

The Abyss The Southern End of Terminus Excidetus. No matter how much you strain, there is no way of seeing the ground and a harsh wind makes any try to get beyond the cliff a not only pointless but also life-threatening attempt.

The Forest East to the Town and to the Mountain's feet, there are the woods which mostly consist of deciduous trees. You'd need about half a day, one if you are a slow walker to pass through them West to East and approximately four as an average walker to cross it from North to South... but the heart of the forest is dark and dangerous beasts seem to dwell there, so you had better accept a loop way through the sunlit parts then walking right through the center.
A middle-sized lake reaches from those more friendly areas you are likely to meet fishing people right into the dark.

The Mountain The Mountains - or the Mountain since it rather seems to be one large one - forms the North-Eastern End and - although steep and dangerous for inexperienced climbers - can actually be mounted. You need about about two days' travel to reach the peak (if you have some breaks which you will need) but no matter how good the weather, you will never be able to see more than vague shadows and forms beyond the plateau of Terminus since behind it (like at the end of the Sea and the Abyss), there is nothing and the higher you get, the wilder the winds become; thunderstorms are not rare as well, especially close to the top. Also, there are rumors that one or more wise hermits are living here...

The old Quai Nobody knows what it is doing there, far off the settlement with nobody owning a boat even close to the Quai that is situated near the Mountain.
The mists that constantly hover about the end of it hazing the sight make the place even more mysterious...

The Shores The North-Western End is marked by what looks like an ordinary ocean but if you get out too far, you risk to simply fall over the edge into unknown depth.
You can an impression of what awaits you if you look down at the point where the Abyss and the Shores meet.

Fishermen's Settlement Like a suburb of the Town, the Settlement is situated between the actual urban area and the shore. Being an experienced fisherman, it is not as risky as one would think to take a boat out on the Sea... you just have to know where strong currents are pulling everything down the Abyss.
