| - The Eldritch land is a strange, alien place: clad in a swarming rage of thunderclouds unleashing red lightning. Strange bright fields of gorgeous glowing flowers are also in this area. The origins of the glowing flowers are unknown. There are large mountains that reach high altitudes and deserts strangely engulfed in black sand: the origins for both are unknown. The strangest thing about this area is the vortex in Area 5 that seems to lack gravity: allowing particles, solids and liquids to float around the radius of the vortex before getting struck by a massive barrage of red lightning. Despite the combination of deserts, fields and mountain. The environmental hazards seem to drive most monsters (mostly prey monsters away), however some monsters have advantages: living in this area. The Guild suggests the vortex phenomenon to be of the remains of an extra-terrestrial force: whether its an elder dragon (or beyond) or just an environmental phenomenon is unknown. Base Camp: The camp is on a cliffside with the view of the apocalyptic area with red lightning,swirling black storm clouds alongside a vortex. (Rarely there is a silhouette of a giant jellyfish-esque monster in the storm clouds if you look closely). Area 1: The bottom of the cliffside with pitch black grassland, some massive rocks and a view of the glowing flower field in Area 4 and 5 (mining and gathering spot). Area 2: A large plateau with rocky terrain and small collections of glowing flowers alongside a medium-sized lake on the right side of the area (gathering and fishing spot). Area 3: Flat terrain compact with black grass and a mass amount of black fog: similar to the purple fog in the Old Swamp but the fog is black rather than purple (gathering and bug spot). Area 4: Massive silhouette-esque fields of glowing flowers and black grass with several black trees with specks of grey leaves scattered about the flat land. The raging part of the red lightning thunderstorm is distant alongside the vortex. The bottom edge of the mountain is on the top centre (gathering and mining spot) Area 5: Also a massive Silhouette-esque field of glowing flowers and black grass: the amount of glowing flowers are much more scattered: the raging red lightning thunderstorm are prevelant here and sometimes strikes the ground which can inflict both Paralysis and Thunderblight: also the vortex (the area shaded with a red tinge on Area 5) inflicts Anti-Grav: if you don't get out of the vortex radius in time: mass red lightning will strike and either deal heavy damage or one shot you. There are also some anti-gravitational trees and rocks floating around the area of the vortex (gathering, bug and mining spot). Area 6: Large Dunes-esque area with black sand resided by monsters that are usually found in the desert. The mountain can be viewed in the far distance. A blinding haze of dust sometimes passes through the area: making sight in the area harder (similarly to the Old Swamp fog except not always in the area) (gathering spot). Area 7: A Shakalaka hideout with a small abandoned building and a stack of rotten corpses (gathering spot). Area 8: Medium sized cavern with specks of red crystals and a medium sized lake. The ground is mostly black sand but there is some rocky terrain aswell and a bunch of large pillars connected to the ground and ceiling (mining spot). Area 9: Large sized cavern covered in black sand where the desert-esque monsters fought here usually go to rest. Large pillars connected to the ground and the ceiling there are explosive grey crystals on the ceiling that can be made to fall down if someone climbs onto them via the pillars and inflicts paralysis on monsters that get hit by the crystal. (gathering, bug and mining spot). Area 10: A cliffside on the side of the mountain that offer a gorgeous view on the glowing flowers, vortex, thunderstorm: alongside able to see the distant black dunes. (mining spot). Area 11: An arena-esque centre in the mountain with abandoned buildings, dead corpses and a large metal cage that is sprung open. (gathering and bug spot). Area 12: The very top of the mountain above the black and red storm clouds: the centre red aura of the vortex is visible but the beam strangely only goes higher above the planets atmosphere. This is the resting place for most monsters fought here that can either fly or reach (others rest in area 9). Below the peaks there is a ridge where you can go into a tiny cavern in the mountain that has plenty of mining spots. (gathering and mining spot).
