this land is lovingly referred to as "the slopes" by most creatures who dare inhabit it. the slopes are a dangerous place, prone to avalanches and rock-slides. those who dare reside in this place have given it a more dastardly ring-- "the dead lands."
it has gained this name for two reasons: the number of lives that have been lost here and the significant lack of plant-life. dead trees are common-place in the slopes, either vaulted to the ground by falling rocks and snow or dead by a lack of nutrients. the grass is a dull, ugly brown color and the lack of flowers is clear here.
