Lost Woods Shrine

Lost Woods Shrine is a strategically important UTC outpost in the middle of the Northern Forests in the Westerlands. Built by SharpFlex and submitted alongside the Shire on the 29th of July, 2013https://www.reddit.com/r/MineZ/comments/xcpfa/build_submission_the_shire_lost_woods_shrine/, it was immediately placed in-game the next day by NicolaLeveeyhttps://www.reddit.com/r/MineZ/comments/xcpfa/build_submission_the_shire_lost_woods_shrine/c5le0uo.
This small, insignificant location with little to no noticeable production of any sorts is ignored by most players and barely visited at all, but is considered by the Company as an important forward operating base for expeditions outside and within the Westerlands.
Its near-central position has given it the extensive ability to project force across the entire region and to launch missions into the Midlands from across the Milky River. The Company, specifically the 93rd Regiment of Virtues, has garrisoned the area and claimed it as a Company Territory for its ability to control the Westerlands region.
== History ==
=== Before the Empire(2012-2014) ===
Before the Empire, Lost Woods Shrine was and is still seen as an insignificant stop point except to those who need water after getting lost in the woods, which was rare. The loot level was sub-par in comparison to other Northern places and the amount of zombies that spawn around it deterred most players from even thinking of settling.
Nothing significant happened around Lost Woods shrine, save for a few fights that spilled from nearby Crowmure, but that happened only on occasion and when the port city was popular. After Crowmure went into decline, Lost Woods Shrine became completely abandoned.
=== GunOverdose Arrives(2014) ===
Soon after GunOverdose became a Company Member, he discovered Lost Woods Shrine while travelling across the Northern Forests to complete a mission. Noticing its lack of bandits and central position in the Westerlands and therefore its potential strategic nature of serving as a hub for easy flow of supplies and goods, GunOverdose placed an alt into the area, turning it into a Company Territory by settlement and the rest of the 93rd Regiment of Virtues followed soon after. 
When the 93rd Regiment of Virtues grew and started supplying the Company with legendaries, Lost Woods Shrine also grew and was officially incorporated as a Company Territory. It was easier to place men and material in Lost Woods Shrine in anticipation for a mission from nearby Company Territories and allowed the UTC's control to expand the whole Northwest mainland and even give it easy distance to reaching the Midlands, thus putting Frostbain under UTC influence. 
By late 2014 and early 2015, most of the Company imports are dropped off at Lost Woods Shrine before they are redistributed to other areas.
