THE WILDS

Sometimes you just wanna get back to nature. Wander in the direction opposite of Downtown and you'll soon find the tilework and flooring of the Plaza eventually giving way to grass and roots. Pillars will be replaced by trees. The bustle of foot traffic and crowds melt into the chirping of birds and rustling of the wind. Welcome to The Wilds.

Like every section of the Nexus, it's not hard to find a wide variety of terrain. Rolling hills, dense forests, open meadows, grassy fields. It's also not uncommon to stumble across ruins of buildings or castles overtaken by vine and moss, or gardens maintained by an unseen tender. Fruit trees, mushrooms and nuts are resplendent in the right locations, but exercise caution before eating anything you find, given the Nexus' track record with transformative food items.

Exploration can also turn up bodies of water. Lakes of varying murkiness or magical properties, tranquil streams, majestic waterfalls. Exercise as much caution around these locales as you would the edibles; drinking the water is usually not the smartest idea.

Things live in the woods and water alike. Anti-violence field or not, be careful of trekking The Wilds alone.
