Nestled in the mountains is a site of geothermal hot springs, a rare place of comfort in the otherwise unforgiving north. Pools of warm water bubble and spit, and hot steam curls off the surface, frosting the trees with ice. The water is rich in mineral content and has healing properties, making it a go-to place for wolves with severe cases of mange or other maladies. The wolves in the North often lounge in and around the springs to avoid the bone-chilling cold, especially in winter.

The Bend is a sharp curve in Grayling Creek and a fishing hole well-loved by Kodiian bears and wolves alike. Fish flow through the current year-round, and in spring, salmon infest the chilly waters, attracting many predators to the feast. A rocky hill overlooks the innermost banks, shrouded by tall, thin firs, and both sides of the banks are wide and pebbled, sometimes underwater when the creek overflows.

Most steer clear of the Pit with good reason: at its lowest point, it's only a 16 foot plunge into an inescapable hole. At its highest point, the 50 foot fall would break a wolf's neck. At the bottom is the gravely grave of many bones said to be haunted by the ghosts of those who fell. A small chamber underneath the overhanging rock offers some semblance of shelter for anyone unfortunate enough to get trapped within the steep, granite walls.

Cardinal Meadow is one of the very few sanctuaries in the North, even providing for the hike it takes to reach it. The meadow offers many dug-out dens for roving wolves in search of a place to spend the night or to den in for a while. Deer occasionally pass through as well, albeit warily - wolf country is a dangerous place for them. It is home to many cardinals - birdsong fills the air year-round. The meadow was once camp for a sedentary, rather large (for northern standards) pack long ago, but a sickness decimated much of their numbers and the rest scattered.

Part of Kodiian Ridge, a branch off the Rifts, Bighorn Mount is the shortest and only accessible peak in the whole chain. A wolf who stands at its head can see for countless miles around. Herds of bighorn sheep can be seen scaling the precarious sides, but it's extremely difficult to hunt them, and most who attempt will find themselves plummeting hundreds of feet to their death. Catamounts, too, are sometimes seen skulking between the shadows, but rarely will a wolf catch more than a glimpse of one before it disappears.

The Spirit Woods are still and quiet, made up entirely of pale birches. It's named for one of the Nine, Spirit, god of the forest and creator of the First Wolves. Small families of deer weave through here, but it's considered disrespectful to hunt in such a peaceful place. It is said that the souls of the First Wolves rest in some of the eldest birches.

Anahala Plains is all rolling, endless hills and herds of elk on the surface, but under the earth is a vast network of tunnels. The rabbit warrens of Anahala Plains are the largest known to Aktesh, with some sections spanning miles and making the ground a bit treacherous. Small sections of forest grow on the rises, where much of the deer and elk are found. Some wolves even claim to have seen a rare jackalope racing along the plains.

The Cave of the Seer's waters glow in the darkness, a luminescent gold said to be a manifestation of the god's power. Soaking in the water is said to lend a wolf heightened regenerative abilities, so ill wolves will often journey to this spot to cure themselves of sickness. A winding, steep shaft leads to the surface from deep within, the entrance a slit barely large enough to fit a wolf in. It opens into a forest near the shore, and the tunnel occasionally floods with water, making it slippery.

Once home to the second densest population of wolves in Aktesh, Tamarack Forest is now almost empty of life, for the most part. Human invaders have overrun it, setting up camp throughout the tall pines and cutting down the trees that are home to countless souls. Most of its former inhabitants have fled to the Midlands, but some wolves still remain in the shadows, fearful but too stubborn to abandon their homelands.

The Isle of Kuget's rockiest beaches are found in Agrigo Coast, where spires sharp enough to cut one-self on stand immovably on the sand and in the churning water. Seagulls make their nests on any open outcroppings, devouring the shellfish and minnows trapped in tide pools once the tide relents. Too rocky for ships to safely make it to shore, Agrigo Coast has spared the Isle from human presence, but not from the occasional whale carcass, which wolves happily feast on.

Towering, skinny pines grow dense together, pushing up to the sky from their precarious shelves up the rise in the Forest of Whispers. Fog climbs thickly between them, sometimes met by gusts of wind that cause the trees to quiver and murmur, hence the forest's name. The forest slopes gradually upwards, leading towards the highest point in the island: Sounder's Point. Herds of deer slip through the mist, and even the occasional Spirit bear cuts through the soup, but otherwise it's stalk still.

Scooped out into the side of a hill, Hain's Hole is the most well known gathering place in the South, and a religious sanctuary for the Followers of Hain at that. Largely unaffected by flooding because of it's high ground, southern wolves hide here during the harshest of storms to make sure they aren't washed away, and many mothers choose to give birth and raise their pups through the most fragile stages here.
