Stormcloud Moor is the most unsettled, uninviting area within the whole of New Eden. With acres upon acres of soil that is infertile to all but the hardiest northern plants, it seems almost inhospitably cold than any other location in the winter and unbearably hot in the summer. Wind whips through the shrubs, kicking up dust and other debris almost as if there were an ever present storm brewing over the tundra. It is not completely unmanageable for wolves who are not faint of heart to explore and even live amongst this terrain, though it is certainly not the most welcoming.

The Highlands are a stark contrast to its Moor neighbor of the north. While wind still breezes through the area it is softer, and while it may be a trick of the imagination this place feels warmer. During the spring the plains are teeming with countless wildflowers which paint the world in pale hues as far as the eye can see. It is easy to lose track of time here basking in the sun and inhaling the sweet smell of the flora. But it isn’t only the flowers that cast such striking colors across the highlands: the auroras are common here, and even regular sunsets act like a giant rose colored spotlight.

Nestled against the southeastern mountains of New Eden is a mysterious forest unique to itself. Cold air rolls down from the precipices known as Daybreak Peaks, bathing the surrounding woods in a thick mist that could test even the bravest soul's resolve. The thickly settled evergreens snub the lush vibrancy in favor of an almost cold desolation. As the ground slopes up towards the foothills the trees become curiously short and thick. Creatures here are cautious, much more so than any other part of the region. It will take a quick witted hunter to survive in this terrain, but perhaps the benefits of knowing its secrets greatly outweigh the drawbacks.

As they say in these new territories, the sun rises from the mountains--eventually. Since the sun must climb several thousand feet before it cascades down to the Wellspring, daylight is a little delayed at this latitude. The Peaks are abrupt and jagged, with deep valleys generously decorated with trees that serve as a shelter for wildlife. Nestled in the nooks between the mountains are a variety of small birds, hearty goats, and the occasional big cat. It's hard to fear the heights when they look down on all the beauty of the region below, and it's well worth the trek through the Shroud to savor the view.
