The Deadwoods

To the West and South the Great Ruins is surrounded by a thick dead forest starting in the mountains, that separate north and east and ending at the coast in the south, where a portion of the forest is started growing again over the last years.

The Deadwoods can be separated into Outer Belt and Darkwoods. Radiation in he Outer Belt is high and it's populated by all sorts of very wild and sinister creatures.

The Darkwoods are even worse with even higher radiation levels and a low climate because the sunlight is blocked. Additionally in the North of the Darkwoods the "Shadow-Walker" village is located. A village that's origin dates back to before the catastrophe. Back then it was populated by Lemurs that never left the forest, today the remains of those Lemurs live there. They mutated, adapted to high radiation levels, low climate and total darkness. The village is lead by Kolorei.
