A map of Umbral Wildwood.

“	To the west of the Heartlands lies a vast hinterland that remained largely untouched before the Great Wars. As resources dwindled in the north, the dense frontier of the Umbral Wildwood began to be harvested for lumber. The river that flows through the center of the region provides a perfect way to transport lumber to the north. As such, this abundant source of timber and resources has since fueled the war machine on both fronts, but at what cost?	„
	— In-game description

Crashed Motorcycle

Crashed Motorcycle

There's an old motorcycle with a Colonial logo painted on the side.

There's a ragged 'X' Scratched through it. Underneath it, the words, "Fucking southern mechanics" are carved into the charred metal.

Faerie Ring

Faerie Ring

Someone was bold to make camp here.

There’s an old Caoivish superstition about desecrated fortress ruins.

When the rubble forms a ring and mushrooms grow, it’s said to be a portal to another world, a world where strange creatures abduct those nearby, and replace them.

It’s all just superstition, though. At least that’s what you keep telling yourself.

Vehicle Husk

Vehicle Husk

You stumble across what appears to be the chassis of an old, rundown vehicle.

Its purpose is unknown to you and it clearly has seen better days. Trees, small plants and even flowers have overtaken what once must have been a massive vehicle.

Thoughts of the crew flash before your eyes. Images of ghosts who once piloted this beast until its engine sputtered out, only to be abandoned here, lost to a once promising frontier. They must have been some crew, you think. Taming such a monster would not have been for the faint of heart. You feel compelled to reach out and touch the damp, rusted metal only to be reminded that it is, in fact, just a dead machine.

All things must die it seems, man and machine alike.

Then, as if spurred on by your thoughts, you spot movement . . .

Tucked inside where the driver might have been is a small next. A litter of tiny lynx stare back at you, their frightened eyes glowing in the shadow of the beast.

A smile forces itself across your face, and you tap the machine’s frame like it’s the shoulder of an old friend.

Inner Haven Vol. 8

Inner Haven Vol. 8

Volume 8 of a magazine called “Inner Haven.”

—and they still look to the past, to when Callahan united their people. If he was so great, and if their wealth so vast . . . well, their “wondrous” Bulwark certainly wasn't up to the task, and now—

The rest of the pages are mouldy and illegible.
