Uberwald is known for the werewolves and vampires who haunt its forests and towns, making this destination a dangerous area.

Its fierce reputation is largely deserved... at least at night.

Geography

Uberwald is a large region in the south-east of the Disc. It begins a little after Blackglass and contains a handful of towns and villages amidst miles of forest and mountains. To the east is the Hubland Steppes; farther east and along the south lie the edges of the map. Genua theoretically lies to the south but is inaccessible on foot.

Connections

The Sto Plains connects to western Uberwald via the north-south road that runs past a large hill and connects with the Smarl River Road. Crossing the Smarl River farther to the east leads through Blackglass and to the Ramtops.

Genua can be reached by taking the Vieux River Road carriage.

  • Bluntz

Terrains

Dominating the landscape are the Uberwald forest and mountains. The forests surrounding the various roads in Uberwald are inhabited by werewolves, both during the day and the night. They auto-attack and are *very* powerful, and are known to pursue when attacked.

A marsh is located around the bridge by the Temple of Cool, possibly due to the multiple rivers and highland lakes in the area. In the southeast near the Inn of the Fifth Elephant is a cherry orchard. Northeast of Bonk are several hot springs, while a fat springs can be found to the east. South of Escrow is the Uberwaldean swamp.

Language
