					</tr>
					<tr>
						<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>

						<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 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 theyâ€™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. There is a stillness to the air as though the very jungle holds its breath, which often makes one feel as if they are being watched.</td>

						<td>A large almost completely round lake with level banks and sharp borders. It is filled with clear water, and yet the depth is impossible to judge.</td>
					</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>
					<tr>
						<td>Snowy Mountainside</td>
						<td>Steep mountainsides are packed with snow.</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td>Spinach Patch</td>
						<td>A patch of green leafy vegetables with thin stalks and broad round leaves.</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td>Spire</td>
						<td>A white tower sits here that is so tall, you cannot see the top while standing near it.</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td>Spring</td>
						<td>Clear, clean, fresh ground water gurgles up into a sizeable pool here.</td>
					</tr>
					<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>Steep Mountainside</td>
						<td>Massive grey 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>Strawberry Patch</td>
						<td>A patch of low vined bushes with green frilled leaves and plump red berries growing in small clusters.</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td>Stream</td>
						<td>A constant trickle of water runs through divots of eroded earth here, creating a stream.</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td>Sugar Cane</td>
						<td>Tall canes grow here, with long green blades of grass waving from the top of each one. They grow in groups and bunches, packed close together in little colonies.</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>
					<tr>
						<td>Thorny Herb Patch</td>
						<td>A large patch of green nettles covers the ground of this area, choking out other plants and climbing over any and all obstacles, making it difficult to traverse the area without getting stung by the needle-like hairs on the invasive herb's jagged leaves.</td>
					</tr>
					<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>Tomato Patch</td>
						<td>A patch of herbaceous plants with short stems and round fruits that are originally green and then ripen to red.</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td>Tropical Forest</td>
						<td>Tall palms, lush ferns, and a vast variety of other vegetation pack across sandy soils, which often blow to-and-fro from the humid ocean breeze.</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td>Tundra</td>
						<td>A frigid wind blows constantly here, roaring across the vast white wasteland, driving the minuscule ice crystals which glitter in the meager light of midday and create a sculpted landscape of sharp ridges and narrow twisting valleys.</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>
					<tr>
						<td>Volcano</td>
						<td>A huge volcano that can be seen for miles. It is active, and can be seen pluming steam and ash into the air on occasion.</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td>Walnut Grove</td>
						<td>A stand of tall trees with spreading crowns. Their branches are laden with hard green fruits.</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td>Warm Rocky Outcrop</td>
						<td>The crash of the sea leaves a spray of seawater that drizzles across the white rocks in the area.  Steep cliffs bear scraggly trees that look over the outcrop from high up.</td>
					</tr>
					<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 grassâ€™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>Wild Lilac Patch</td>
						<td>A patch of wild lilacs.  Faint buzzing sounds similar to tiny wings is a constant around these patches.</td>
					</tr>
					<tr>
						<td>Wooded Mountainside</td>
						<td>Massive grey 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>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>
