 + <td>Ancient Battleground</td>
 + <td>Hidden in the grasses and dry soils of the savanna are bits and fragments of what was once metal and bone and any number of lost creations and artifices. All are now long degraded past function, knowledge, or replication. Only echoes and memories of lost memories remain.</td>

With already-set paths to follow because of the high sandstone walls, it’s difficult to get anywhere, but there are plenty of animals making do in the area. Freezing nights and boiling days make this place almost unbearable for anyone not adapted to be in such a harsh environment.</td>

 + <td>Deep Swamp</td>
 + <td>A perpetual soup-thick fog boils just above the surface of a primordial bath of obscure muck.  Dragonflies far larger than they should be flutter and dart from tree to tree, their wings beating through air that smells and feels millions of years old.  Aside from the flight of massive bugs, the swamp is deathly quiet; save for the rare and ominous slosh of water as unseen things lurk in the mire.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Desert</td>
 + <td>Vast seas of white sand make up this desolate and harsh desert, with windswept hills, and an extremely hot climate. The only plant life here are cacti, though there are plenty of reptiles, and even a few mammals or birds that make their home here. At night, the air is dark with freezing cold wind, contradictory to the daylight temperatures.</td>

The monstrous giants can even be seen wrapped around each other at times, as if in an endless battle to catch the sun at their heights. The darkness of the jungle is thick, with shadows everywhere. Even the highest peak of the sun lends only a little sunlight to hit the ground, making the leaves seem like they’re glowing wherever the rays peek through. Sounds of all kinds erupt from unknown places within the wild maze of jungle, creating an eerie atmosphere for those not familiar with this terrain. Large strange fruits of all kinds of colors can be seen high in the trees, getting picked at by small mammals.

 + <td>A small crumbling stone structure. Upon inspection, there is a trap door with a staircase leading down.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Ruined Castle</td>
 + <td>A huge castle towers over the area, visible from a great distance. Though it may have appeared grand once, it is clearly old and decrepit. The walls are crumbling, and several sections appear to have caved in entirely. Any exterior indication of who or what might have built it is long gone.</td>

 + <td>Sand Bar</td>
 + <td>There is a sand bar that reaches out into the ocean just above the water surface.</td>
 + </tr>

 + <td>Sandsquid Brushes</td>
 + <td>A splattering of sandsquid bushes. Each bush has long glowing leaves that are thorned on the edges and spread wildly from a center point. The leaves wriggle wildly when touched.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Sassland</td>
 + <td>This area is very dry, and mostly devoid of life except for sasscats that prey on small mammals in the area. The soil is salty, and large chunks of salt can be seen as marbled in pink.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Savanna</td>
 + <td>A vast flat expanse of tall grass and sparse foliage, subject to particularly dry weather and blazing heat.  Precipitation is seldom but not unseen, inviting grazing animals to mill about the swaying tall grass.</td>

 + <td>Savanna Mountainside</td>
 + <td>Massive granite rock juts out of the ground, go up for miles into the sky in this area. Their peaks, which are unreachable by foot, are jagged and speckled thick with snow. Small shrubs surround the center of these mountains, and are bare except for a few tiny leaves surrounding bright red and yellow flowers with four petals, blossoming year-round in any terrain.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Savanna Riverside</td>
 + <td>The muddy riverside of the savannas provides the benefit of a constant flow of fresh water for the nearby flora and fauna.  The scent of claylike mud and drying algae is prevalent; rich smells softened by the streams that trickle through this area.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Savanna Steppe</td>
 + <td>A highlands in the arid grassy plans, raised and particularly stony for the area. Wind conditions are exceptionally strong on these rocky regions.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Sea Cave</td>
 + <td>The long white beach comes to a slight obstacle here. A small cave, half submerged within the tide sits alone here. Upon investigation, one would find the beauty of the cave very breathtaking. The light that reaches within causes the ripples in the water to reflect upon the rocky walls. Crustaceans and fish search for places to hide underneath the clear surface.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Seaside Foothills</td>
 + <td>Waves crash and collide in the near distance, echoing a vague call of the sea through the nearby mountains.  Tufts of tough grass and scattered rocks sprawl up into the rocks above, a faint pungent smell rising from the tubers that refuse to give up their grip on the poor soil.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Shiny Detritus Pile</td>
 + <td>The slow-moving waters of the swamp has moved significant amounts of dead and rotting refuse to this abnormally stagnant pool, made more pungent by the warm sun's constant presence in this small clearing. Speckles of golden gleam can be caught from the pile of rotten waste.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>

 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Smouldering Magma Lode</td>
 + <td>A field of red hot rocks spray the area; disturbing natural rock formations, burning patches of flora away, and melting small areas of sand into glass.  Every so often, a new boulder smashes into the ground with a thunderous boom, flinging molten rock for several meters.</td>

 + <tr>
 + <td>Starfruit Grove</td>
 + <td>A collection of small bushy evergreen trees with drooping branches and soft small leaves arranged in a spiral around the branches. Small clusters of flowers that range in shade from lilac to a deeper purple lend a sweet fragrance. The fruit of the tree is ribbed and waxy, yellow in color.</td>

 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Swamp</td>
 + <td>Moisture weighs heavily in the air of this swamp; the ground not even visible as it sits under the waist-high murky water. Trees tower all around, with thick roots that rise from the water. Predators sift through the liquid, awaiting the small mammals to fall from the trees into their hungry mouths. The only hint of sterling beauty within this area is the light blue crystal that climbs up the trees, seeming to protect them from too much moisture. The small hints of light that make it down to the water-filled floor make the crystal shields glint and sparkle. It gives a misplaced sense of security to those who linger too long in the danger-infested waters of this habitat.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Swamp Grove</td>
 + <td>This is a drier location than most of the surrounding swamp, offering travelers a chance to partially dry their feet off on significantly less moist raised patches of wild grass and faintly sweet-smelling bog flowers.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Swamprise</td>
 + <td>A rise in terrain around the surrounding swampland allows for the drying of feet and relative safety from perpetual submergence and the creatures within.  Unfortunately, the elevation leads to numerous small stagnant pools in the surrounding area that has led to small clouds of pests and makes for an otherwise drab experience.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Taiga</td>
 + <td>The lands spreads out before you with wildflowers that carpet the vales with a riot of color. This area of land is significantly elevated, giving a breath-taking view of the world in the far distance. Many wild fruits and vegetables thrive in these heights, which attract small animals, grazers, and consequently predators. Coupled with the wide open sights, and lush flora, this area gives a sense that is both lonely, yet free.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Tea Shrubs</td>
 + <td>Various clusters of vibrantly green tea shrubs dot the area, filling the air with a surprisingly distinct and almost citrusy scent to it. It's dotted with tiny bright pink blooms.</td>

 + <tr>
 + <td>Thorny Thicket</td>
 + <td>A thicket of bushes with reddish-purple bark grows in this area, gnarled and thorny branches twisting every which way and forming a tangle that is awkward to navigate, the brambles prone to catching on the clothing, fur, or skin of anyone or anything that ventures into it.</td>

 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Valley</td>
 + <td>A large drop in the elevation of the ground creates a valley in the area, filled with grasses and strange-looking flowers. Ivy wildly creeps up the rough walls of minerals and soil that enclose the valley, which might be used to climb up the side, if not too steep. The area is overgrown with low bushes, grasses, weeds, and large white flowers. They glow gently, seeming to bring on a sleepy sensation if one stares directly at them for too long. They reach up to five feet in height; their bulbous heads and feathered petals hanging over like dim street lamps.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Vine Overgrowth</td>
 + <td>The trees in this area are all covered in what appear at first glance to be vines, growing thickly in large clusters on the north and south sides of the tree trunks, sometimes obscuring the bark of the trees entirely.</td>

 + <tr>
 + <td>Waterfall</td>
 + <td>The falls can be heard before they are seen, a great rumbling fury. They pour over an edge several stories above, silver-white water plunging into the pool below with a thunderous crash that throws spray into the air. Rainbows can often be spotted among the splashes.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Watering Hole</td>
 + <td>During hot periods this watering hole is little more than a murky puddle in the middle of dry and cracked earth, animals of all types converging here to drink. After periods of rainfall however, this watering hole can become expansive with lush flora taking root around the edges.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Wet Mountainside</td>
 + <td>Massive black rock juts out of the ground, go up for miles into the sky in this area. Their peaks, which are unreachable by foot, are flat and speckled thick with snow. Small shrubs surround the center of these mountains, and are bare except for a few tiny leaves surrounding bright red and yellow flowers with four petals, blossoming year-round in any terrain.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Wetland</td>
 + <td>The soil here is above water, but holds moisture like a sponge. Most plants here look dead or drab.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Wheat Field</td>
 + <td>Dry grasses of pale red color cover the ground in fields, with a few scarce trees scattered far from one another in the area. This wheat field is teeming with wildlife, whether all are visible or not, as predators lurk within the grass’s concealment.</td>
 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Wild Flower Garden</td>
 + <td>The fertile soil in this area allows for a large variety of wildflowers in a multitude of colours to grow in tightly packed tufts here. The air is filled with a sweet, soothing aroma, and had it not been for the haphazard placement of the flowers one might assume this were a carefully tended garden rather than a wild meadow.</td>

 + </tr>
 + <tr>
 + <td>Woody Shrubland</td>
 + <td>In a region not quite as wet as the surrounding area grows a copse of trees and shrubs. Their bark is white and the branches long and spindly, bringing to mind an army of ghosts fruitlessly reaching up towards the sky. The roots are slick with moisture, but still provide somewhat more stable footing than the marshy surroundings.</td>
