Territory (Blutwald)

This is Blutwald territory.

## Landmarks

### Main Den

The main den is the center and heart of Blutwald. It resides in a large clearing surrounded by thick oak trees littered with Spanish moss. The Alpha's den and the largest in the territory is a conjunction of two boulders a the base of a hill, leading into a comfy dug out hole into the hill itself. Around the backside of the main den resides the herb storage den, which is only a smaller hole that can be accessed from the outside or the inside of the main den. The spaces beneath the roots of the oak trees provide comfortable dens for the rest of the pack if they wish to have their resting places in the main den site.

#### Other Locations

* ***The Roman Mountains.*** The Roman Mountains are named after the previous tyrant Alpha Roman, whom the current Alpha Stallion challenged and won for the position of Alpha. They surround the Northern half of the territory and cause the weather to be extremely rainy down where the territory begins. It is not recommended to explore the Roman Mountains, for they are extremely harsh and very dangerous to travel.
* ***Blutwald Forest.*** Blutwald forest is pretty much the entire span of the lush oak trees that surround Blutwald at all sides. They provide homes for the other wildlife that inhabit the area and supply bountiful prey all year long for Blutwald wolves. For an outsider it is very difficult to navigate the forests of Blutwald due to the overgrown vegetation. Only Blutwald wolves can move fluently through the tangled mess. Vines and roots block most of the pathways through the forest, and the light is very dim since it cannot reach through the oak tree canopies.
* ***Suncrest Valley***. Suncrest Valley is a wide field of golden grass and wheat that stretches more than seven miles across from the treeline to the mountain base. It is a perfect playground for pups as it is the safest place in Blutwald. Only Blutwald wolves can access it and due to it's open nature not many predators venture into it since wolves are always out in the open during recreational time. The South River runs directly through the valley and joins at Kings Pass, which is the only way out of Blutwald if exiting to the East.
* ***The Orchards***. The Orchards are a what the name implies; a medium sized apple orchard that provides excellent prey for single hunts. Small animals such as squirrels and birds are in an over abundance there, and so provide excellent snacks or easy meals for Blutwald wolves.
* ***Saratoga Springs***. No one knows how to access this secret spring except the Alpha and his family. Saratoga Springs is considered as the Alpha's private den, and this is also where the rivers in Blutwald originate. All of the Alpha's children are born beside the springs, and its entrance is a well kept secret. Inside is a glorious valley with flowing grass and flowery fields, and in the center resides a bubbling spring that stays icy during warmer seasons and warms up during the cold seasons. Why this phenomenon takes place is a mystery. Beside the spring is a massive willow tree with roots that have risen out of the ground to form the perfect den for the Alpha and his family.
* ***Felidae's Peak.*** Named after Stallion's tyrannical mother, Felidae's Peak is by far the most dangerous place in Blutwald. It constantly experiences landslides and avalanches and the snowstorms that rage at the summit are a death sentence to anyone that dares climb the mountain. It is forbidden by all to travel to Felidae's Peak.
* ***Kings Pass***. The Kings pass is the only way out of Blutwald if exiting to the East. The South river exits through a small space between two mountain walls, and the only way to get out is to get into the river itself and let the current take you through the mountains. To prevent pups from accidentally falling in, a makeshift dam was built around the base of Kings Pass.
