| - | **Mockers' Grove** is a stretch of trees that from the outside appears to be dense forest thick with underbrush and a dense upper canopy. There is a sense of danger and unwelcome about the place from the outside looking in. Exactly how far it stretches is up to interpretation, but it is contained within the larger [[atlas:Utmarii Forest]] region. | + | **Mockers' Grove** is a stretch of trees that from the outside appears to be dense forest thick with underbrush and a dense upper canopy.

| If you enter the grove from the proper location then everything changes. The grove still exudes a feeling of danger and blood, but the trees are no longer so large or dense and the undergrowth is curtailed. The canopy still stretches across, but enough sunlight reaches the forest floor for lush ferns and moss. | If you enter the grove from the proper location then everything changes.

| It is not known if Mockery was a mad god or powerful [[creatures:sidhe]]. Mockery lived on the world and created the grove. If not created for this purpose it soon drew various mortals that lived a half-life between the rest of the world and its animals. These semi-bestial creatures found little solace in the world as most were the creations of magic or magicians. | It is not known if Mockery was a mad god or powerful [[creatures:sidhe]].

| - | When the first humans came to this land Mockery welcomed them. These [[atlas:Sorcerer's Kingdom|humans]] had mastered the magic of the elves and delved into far darker secrets. They hated Mockery and several times tried to burn the grove, but each time Mockery drove the off. When the elves came and killed the humans Mockery tried to befriend them, but they were appalled by Mockery's appearance. | + | When the first humans came to this land Mockery welcomed them.

| Thousands of years later the humans returned to these lands and this time Mockery left the land for good. Mockery told those living in the grove they would be protected, but Mockery could not longer walk these lands and protect them at the same time. Where Mockery went to exactly is unknown, but those who live a sheltered life in the grove thank Mockery with each sunrise. | Thousands of years later the humans returned to these lands and this time Mockery left the land for good.

| - | Named for the yellowish-orange clay that surrounds the pool, Ochre Pool is a cold deepwater lake near [[Binder's Canyon]]. Those able to swim to its deepest depths have seen amazing creatures as liminal are not strictly land animals. The lake is only ten to fifteen meters deep in most parts, but near the center is a tunnel that goes down about forty meters (40m) before it opens up into a larger cavern. This cavern has a large tunnel that eventually reaches the [[atlas:Serpente Sea]] near the sea bottom. | + | Named for the yellowish-orange clay that surrounds the pool, Ochre Pool is a cold deepwater lake near [[#Binder's Canyon]].
