Deadwoods

Starting in the Mountainrange in the north and stretching all the way down to the eastern coast are the Deadwoods, a huge, mostly dead and burned rainforest. It's climate is relatively mild but strongly radiated. It's population consists nearly solely of mutated creatures and the deeper you go, the more dangerous, hostile, radiated and dark it gets. In it's deepest parts, the sun can't shine through, past the dead trees at all times. Nocturnal mutants await travelers there.

The Deadwoods can be seperated into 2 sections: The Outer Belt and The Darkness. In The Outer Belt, it can sometimes make sense to go hunting or to seek cover there, radiation is still sustainable for short periods of time and the creatures aren't as deadly. The Darkness however is deadly due to hostile mutants and strong radiation. One should not go there unprepared, nor stay for longer than a few days.

Shadow-walker Village: is a colony in The Darkness, populated by mutant humanoids.
