			All of the land is notably fertile, even when it shouldn't be.

			== Metaphysical Significance ==
			Several major elemental ley lines converge (or diverge?) from the wildlands. The entire area is known to be a hotspot for [[kami]], [[fey]], and elemental influences such as the [[Three Crones]] which sit at the north-west edge of the wildlands.

			Some ancient records indicate speculation that somewhere in Cape Dread is a life-well, a concentrated fragment of the [[True Word]] forming the name of [[Primordials\|Life]], the primordial whose Name and essence serves as the foundation of the [[Mortal Plane]]. Effectively the life-aspected equivalent of an elemental source node (like lies at the center of most volcanos). That would explain the heavy kami and fey presence, as well as the general fertility (and hostility to outside dominance). But the very existence of life-wells, let alone the idea that one is located there, is still hotly debated (or was before the [[Cataclysm]], at which point it was mostly forgotten).

The south-central region of western [[Noefra]], south of the [[Windwalker Confederacy]] and bordering [[Byssia]] to the west and the [[Jungle of Fangs]] to the east, the Blood-thirst Wildlands are not claimed by any single nation and are considered hostile terrain. Home to a wide variety of races, tribes, and strange beasts, the wildlands are a dangerous place about which very little is known.

			== Geography ==
			The wildlands are composed of two major areas -- the northern goblin lands (roughly north extending from the southern edge of the passage through the [[Outer Border Range]] into [[Asai'ka]]) and Cape Dread, the southern extension out into the [[Primal Sea]].

			The goblin lands are heavily jungled, with the northern end fading into hilly badlands. Two major rivers (whose names have been lost to history) join together to form one of the larger rivers on the continent; the southern edge of that river roughly marks the south edge of the goblin lands. The goblin lands have extensive [[Tibor Imperia\|Old Imperial]] ruins, and are populated by [[Goblins\|goblin]] tribes, [[shifters]], and other tribal folks, few of whom are welcoming to outsiders. The only significant settlement here is at [[Freeport]] on the western edge at the shore of [[Gap-tooth Bay]].

			Cape Dread is the area that extends another 800 miles south from the big river to the [[Primal Sea]]. At nearly 600 miles wide, it's a major barrier to sea trade between the [[Jungle of Fangs]] and [[Byssia]]. Almost completely unexplored, the only settlements here are [[Fuhino]] on the [[Serpent Sea]] and [[Glorious Waters]] at the far southern edge. The only ''known'' set of ruins here is at the dead center, an ancient temple to an unknown entity that originally housed the [[Eyes of Qa'desh\|Left Eye of Qa'desh]] and was the focal point for the [[Cataclysm]]. It also housed the center of the [[Twisted]] operation in the early 200s AC.

			The entire Cape is known to be a hotspot for [[kami]], [[fey]], and elemental influences. The borders are inhabited by [[ika-ika]] and sometimes [[goblins]], but no one knows what lurks within, or what the terrain is like--the very southern edge is grasslands, and the northern part has grass fading into jungle as you move north, but the rest is unknown.

	Not much is known about this area. It seems to have been substantially different during the Old Western Empire--surviving maps and records from before the [[War of Souls]] show a completely different landscape. Whether that landscape was destroyed during that war, cut off from reality, or simply altered into the current territory is unknown. What is known is that the incidence rate of re-appearance of Imperial-era ruins, structures (some still operational) and other such phenomena is much higher as you move further south than in more settled lands.

What is known is that the incidence rate of re-appearance of Imperial-era ruins, structures (some still operational) and other such phenomena is much higher as you move further south than in more settled lands...although this ends once you venture too far south. There, the land remained wild even through the [[Ages of the World\|Third Age]], although evidence of early [[ihmisi]] habitation is present.

	During the reconstruction era (from the end of the [[War of Souls]] until the [[Cataclysm]]), this region was considered uninhabited and unknown. Covered in thick jungle, it held a dangerous allure for adventurers and explorers and claimed many lives. What is known is that there once was a large temple to an unknown goddess located near the center of the wildlands. This temple was the home of the [[Eyes of Qa'desh\|Left Eye of Qa'desh]] for many centuries, until the [[Divine Three]] retrieved it just hours before the [[Cataclysm]]. That event drained the anima out of much of the continent and the effect was worse near the epicenter of the blast. All life within 50-60 miles of the temple withered and crumbled to dust and much of the rock crumbled to colorless sand. According to the [[Catalysts]], even 200 years later there was still a ~10 mile band of blasted lands (although the temple itself still remained intact somehow).

	Life returned to the wildlands slowly. About 60 years ago (roughly 190 AC), the [[Demon Princes\|demon prince]] known as the [[Twisted]] sent a major [[mkhulu]] agent into the heart of the wildlands. It established a lair in the ruins of the temple and began a slow ritual that corrupted life starting from that point. As it gathered allies and power, it sent out parties to conduct twisted rituals at the edges of the tainted area to accelerate the process. The inhabitants (mostly goblinoids) fled as best they could northward away from the corruption, but many were left behind. Those that escaped are now part of the [[Windwalker Confederacy]]; those that remained were twisted by the fell magics. As the corrupted area grew, the druids of [[Byssia]] began fighting back, but were fighting a losing battle.		Life returned to the wildlands slowly.

	In 205 AC, the [[Catalysts]], drawn by rumors of growing corruption, found one of the ritual sites. They then sought out the [[Byssia]n druids and received from them a ritual weapon of great power, capable of conjuring large chunks of stone to bombard the enemy from a great distance. With the help of avatars of [[Yogg-Maggus]], [[Pinwheel]], and the [[Hollow King]], they completed the ritual (fighting off a partial appearance of the [[Twisted]] in the process). Hastening south, they defeated the [[Twisted]'s agents and stopped the encroaching corruption. Since then, the area has been mostly left wild. Pockets of corruption still remain, but most of it has been cleansed by Quartus itself (as with most abyssal influence in the absence of active demonic presence).
