After crossing the Ice Sea, one is rewarded with this. It is said that an underground hot air pocket causes this stretch of land to stay lush all year round. Its a a phenomenon that happens nowhere else, and is a spectacle to behold. During the night, gentle snows will fall, only to evaporate before hitting the still warm ground. This causes a light fog that puts a refreshing dew over everything. The sun overhead provides the light, and this all keeps The Stretch lush even during the winter seasons. Herds often come down off the mountains to graze, and predators often follow.

This is where the farthest edge of The Stretch meets the very beginning of the mountains themselves. Here, green grass gives way to the face of the great rocks, where one can began thier descent upwards...

In the spring and summer, food here is plentiful due to the warm winds carried in off the stretch. There are however, a lot more avalanches in this region, so look out for those during the warmer seasons. Many trees also scatter this area, providing cover during the harsher weather.

Names for being the most traveled route up the mountain, this valley is literally a gateway to the higher peaks above. As the valley located nearest the bottom of the peaks, here the weather is often more subdued than it is farther North. Though blizzards are a common thing here, and the nights are freezing, most snowfalls are gentle enough, and the area is more than liveable. It is valued because even during the winter seasons there is enough greenery to sustain herds, making it unnecessary for them to migrate. This benefits both the prey, and the predators.

This bowl shaped valley is a large, mostly open territory. Though it can house many, during the harsher seasons prey have to leave to search for food elsewhere, and the predators must often follow. Winds here can reach staggering speeds, and blizzards are all to often.
