Description

Parkland, a world that not only survived it's apocalypse, but regrew into something amazing and free; a world without limits or boundaries, without racial or social prejudices...
...Though many generations have passed on since the great tumult, all of humanity swore to honour and remember that we, the human race, managed to bring about our own world's destruction.
Part of that is in remembering our mistakes, and to always try to help our fellow man, and indeed all other terrestrial biological races-
no matter the circumstance -
for it became clear long ago, that if we let ourselves be seperated by greed, jealosy, argument or religion,
that ultimately we only harmed ourselves as a race.

Here we can see the homestead,
a cosy little place that is built a few miles away from the first of the "great crags" -
massive monoliths of slate mixed gratuitously with brimstone, giving them a distinctive smell even from afar.
however, the geological activity involved means that the local watersource is warmed by thermal vents, and though upstream it boils in some places, here it is a wonderfully warm and pleasant river to dip one's feet in after a hard day trekking or foraging, visiting the local markert (only a two-hour stroll south through excellent woodlands which command beautiful views- just follow the river!) or daring to explore the great wealth of local and sometimes very deep caves!

....nothing better than relaxing in the hammock and watching the squirrels play at sunset
