Biome Type: Variety; Town
Average Threat Level: Tier 2- Your character can be inflicted with scrapes and bruises!
Vortea has pinpointed several small towns on a large map of Whistler Crest and its surroundings. She has located five towns in total. Each town has been assigned a "leader" and Expedition teams have been randomly assigned to which town they will explore. The goal is to explore the other towns looking for clues, asking if they’ve noticed unusual Finley or spiritual activity. Vortea has not said much as to why yet. Perhaps we'll know soon...?
Below is a list of all the towns set to be explored.
DEPTSFORD VALLEY
Assigned Leader: Vac
A small, recently abandoned village, west of Whistler Crest. This town is located in a peaceful, slightly hilly prairie. Houses are primarily made out of cobblestone and wood.

A small, recently abandoned village, located to the northeast of Whistler Crest. This town is located in a prairie between two patches of forest. Most houses are made of timber or logs

SOUTH WARREN
Assigned Leader: Blaise
This town is on the smaller side, located to the west of Whistler Crest. It is located in a forest, and buildings seem sparse. Visible structures are made of wood, and built close to the trees.

YEW'S BEND

This town is quite small, located to the south of Whistler Crest. It is quite easy to find - just follow the river for a few days and look for the stands of trees nearby. Housing is primarily earthen or simple shacks, made out of materials like earth, sod, and straw.

FAE SPIRIT
