The Center

The Giba Diramus
Based on the Twelve Apostles, the giba diramus translates as the 'Stone Tree's. These islands stand Tall and individually as nests for tribes of birds attempting to stay far away from the danger of predators and the Northern Empire.


Brimstone Mountain
This is the mountain the Dragon burst out from in the the beginning of the Dark Ages, exploding from underground flattening the woods surrounding it, much like Mount St Helen's. In the modern age, tribes live around the mountain worshipping its ancient power, and heat it provides.


Tahnee Rock
Tahnee Rock is a location that provides a great deal of shade for creatures, based on wave rock in Australia. It is carved by the dragons tail as he burst out from his brimstone mountain and made his destructive path through the natural world.

Groundwod Forest
So called because of a large percentage of the forest being flattened during the Dragons eruption, the forest extends for much further, flourishing, providing homes and food more tribes.


Port Bunyip
Bunyip meaning: Devil/evil spirit/monster, the land is so called by the natives after the arrival of the Britroft Fleet, who captured their creatures and forced them into their self-built and dreaded 'CAGE'.

The Cage
The Cage is set out into thirteen blocks by the Northern empire, who take over certain lands and place creatures in different areas of this god-forsaken place; The Entrance, Breeding, Whores, Miners, Food, Harvest, Medical, Armoury, Aviary, Fishing, Venom draining, and Storage.

The Entrance
This is where all the creatures are brought in via the ships. The ones that make it out, are done so opposite the same entrance (so the entrees can see) as an exit to a worse fate..
- Breeding
These creatures are forcefully bred to create attractive offspring to become whores, or strong offspring to become workers.
- Whores
As it states, these creatures are considered attractive and therefore sold as sexual slaves, male and female alike.
- Miners
Here the strong creatures are selected to become miners, and work to dig for precious metals, which are turned into weapons for the Northern army.
- Food
These creatures are considered weak and of no value, and so sold to carnivores as food to be eaten.
- Harvest
These creatures are used to be harvested, weather that be cutting off their horns, antlers and tusks to make drugs, or to by plucked to be sold as decorative purposes.
- Medical
This is the smallest location of all, for medical attention to the creatures worth saving for profit. The ones not worth saving are put to the slaughter house.
- Slaughter House
If completely useless, these creatures are killed, or sold to be killed for sport.
- Aviary
This is where the birds are kept. Birds can be hard to control and catch, and therefore require their own section where they are sedated. They are usually harvested, or sold as whores once their wings are taken away.
- Fishing
Across the island, while the prison id being kept some officers fish for fun or professionally, all collections are brought to the Cage for processing and to be sold. Lochtown's Fish are also brought here.
- Venom draining
This is where venomous reptiles are brought, chained up and drained for their poison to be used in the Northern War against the East and South.
- Storage
If a creature is not yet required but could serve some use in the future, i.e, needs fattening up, muscular build, or to become in season to breed, they are placed here.
- Armoury
This is a location where any potential weapons harvested are kept for future use, for the North's arsenal.
