Waiting for My Night

Broken City

Near the west side of the desecrated city are dozens of empty storage units. Although the metal is starting to rust and most have been dented beyond repair, they still offer the best protection from the elements and attacks, and so many have been turned into dens. Certain units have special purposes, such as the nursery unit where cubs are kept, but for the most part they're simply used for sleeping and staying safe.

Fountain Park

This dying forested green-space of the city is used by wolves as a sort of hunting ground. The dense mix of coniferous and deciduous trees provide a perfect breeding ground of small game such as rabbits, squirrels, and other woodland creatures. Large game is a rare sight, but not impossible to find. The fountain in the center that the park was named after has lost its majesty, but the wolves still use it as a drinking hole.

Fireform Avenue

This street was once known for its older, 'historic' brick houses. Most of them have burned, leaving piles of rotting wood, charcoal, and the decaying frames of homes. Sometimes larger birds-of-prey come to hunt, but mostly wolves forage in this place, hoping to find something useful still around from when the city was once at its prime.

The Hospital

One of the only buildings left in the city that continues to stand with relatively little damage, this hospital is an eerie shell of the activity it once held. Few animals come here, but it does have a large supply of edible, non-perishable foods, and human medicines left over from the days when doctors and nurses strolled the halls to care for their patients. Its use seems to have remained relatively the same through the ages.

Clearlake Territories

Clearlake

Clearlake lives up to its name in that it is a lake of the clearest water one would ever see. The wolves that taste the waters always detect and unagreeable chemical aftertaste, mostly likely due to the nearby factory. Despite this, it remains one of the healthiest water sources in Estysion; with fish and amphibians playing in the water. Low, green meadows border the lake.

Factory Prime

The use of the factory was lost with the humans that abandoned it, though it is said that whatever it was used for, it's responsible for the lake being so clear and reflective. Now, though, the many offices and closets have been transformed into homes for wolves. Broken down machines are scattered on the factory floor; however, sometimes, they spring to life if a wolf hits the right switch.

The Sands

Surrounding the factory and east side of the lake, the Sands is a flat miniature desert that keeps the Clearlake wolves pretty isolated. It's a place that shows the creeping of the death from the outside world. Nothing but the hardiest plants grow here and the flat, open land provides a top-notch meeting area since no wolf really has an advantage in this terrain.

City Dump

Located west of the Broken City and well into the Northern range of Clearlake Territory, the city dump provides a great foraging area with something new to find each trip. From broken down cars, relics of a past civilization, and maybe that rare snack-cake that survived the end of the world, a man's trash becomes a wolf's treasure. Sometimes, a wolf's gotta dig for what he's looking for, though.

The Wastelands

Stump Forest

Leading from the Sands, this was once a beautiful forest, but has been reduced to nothing but stumps due to the desperate logging during the last years of mankind's reign. Wolves have dug dens under the roots and stumps. There are some twisted, stunted trees in the western half of hte forest, untouched by man, but affected by the radiation from the final human war.

Moon's Landing

A large crater lies in the center of Stump Forest. It seems to be coated in a silver powder that glows on a clear night. Rainwater collects in the center of the crater, and there is an island in the middle. The island is actually the bomb that created the crater. However, the wolves of the Wastelands believe it's a piece from the far side of the moon and that it brings good luck for those who make the swim to stand upon it.

Roseburr Farm

Once a thriving family farm, the empty barns and homestead now supply the wolves with a new area to den in the coldest months. Located on the historic scenic route between city and the forest, the farm represents the last artifact of prosperity in the Wastelands. Wheat still grows around the homestead, though it is mostly choked out by weeds.

Devil's Meander

Once a fresh-flowing river, now a muddy stream, Devil's Meander picks up from an underground source where the Black River left off. Fish somehow still swim through the water and brave plants crowd its edges at some points. The plants and soil manage to filtrate the water enough to sustain life, though barely. A decaying bridge crosses the stream, but it's mostly fallen in.

Uninhabitable Areas

Estysion Mountain Range

To the North of the inhabitable areas of Estysion is a mountain range. The plentiful caves and the mine shafters that make the mountains seem like they might make for a good packland, but the scarcity of prey and the near-absense of plantlife forbid that possibility. Cold year-round, the mountains receive heavy snow in the wintertime. It's easy to get lost here.

Black River

The pollution to the North great affects this river. Sludge and garbage are visible in its water, but fish are visible as well. As it runs, it carves itself between two cliffs. However, the cliffs serve as a memory from the days when the Black River was much healthier. Instead of gaining momentum, it peters out into nothing but a moist river bed littered with trash.

Felling Cliffs

The Black River dried up at the South end, leaving the Felling Cliffs. Wolves must be careful lest they drop to their deaths. However, the cliffs are a popular place to commute for the opportunistic prey animals that come down to eat the fish that become trapped in the small ponds left over from the Spring thaw. Many herbs grow in the valley of the cliffs, making it a place that every pack frequents.

Freeway Gas Station

The freeway stretches for many miles north of the Gas Station and many miles south of it. The Gas Station has one of the pumps loose and the rainwater that collects in the potholes always seems to have that gasoline rainbow on the surface of it. The Gas Station's Convenience Store has been raided and the shelves are bare save for a few empty packages and items deemed useless for survival in the post-nuclear world.
