KILVALD
"Surrounded by mountains and with trees all around, Kilvald is tucked in the far southeast corner of Northbound. Geothermic activity here is high, with hot springs scattered about and geysers to the north, most commonly reached by traversing through Mount Erihurt's lower elevation passageway. In the west Liden Valley offers a serene waterfall tucked away from the rest of the world, found only by following a thin, inconspicuous stream."

Liden Valley is the name given to the smaller, oddly shaped mountain range that takes up the majority of Kilvald's eastern lands. From a bird's eye view the mountain is shaped somewhat like a horseshoe, with cliffs on the outer southern face and an opening into an internal valley in the northwest. Fresh water springs are located at the mouth, which also connects to a river that guides you into the valley if followed upstream. The further in you go, the denser the trees become until the valley ends, marked by a beautiful waterfall at it's heart. Liden valley also has a narrow cave located on it's outer eastern face.
The Woodlands
Most of Kilvald is made up of a lovely wood that stretches for miles without interruption. Although it is easy to get lost for newcomers, the terrain itself is forgiving and offers plenty of shade and shelter from the elements. The northern portion of the forests here host a wide, rapid river, which runs directly to the biggest lake that lies against Mount Erihurst's side and cuts the rest of the woods off from the dry, dead forest often called the Deadwood. West of the Deadwood, along the same river, is a small swamp which connects the river which had previously flowed as two separate streams.
Southern Fields and Rivers
While the boundary cutoff for Kilvald is technically the dense forests in the far south, most consider the fields just before that as the furthest of it's reach. The grasslands aren't especially large, but they are airy and offer the best access to water by means of the rivers that run through them for predators and prey alike. The main river branches off twice, both legs ending in a decently sized lake, and continues on until it reaches Mount Erihurst, where it ends in a lake just below the hot springs as well.
Mount Erihurst
Mount Erihurst is the eastern border marker for Kilvald and is split into two main parts, the northernmost of which is tall and rocky but otherwise plain besides the large lake that sits against it. The southern portion is more easily explored, with hot springs pressed into it's side just above a drier portion of the fields, and two wide caves in the far south.
The Southpass and Geysers
The Southpass refers to the lower-elevation section of Mount Erihurst which forms a maze-like passageway to cross to the other side of the mountain. The trees, though thin, make this area hard to navigate, but if successfully followed north it will lead to the brittle northern mountainside where you can find geysers and hot springs alike.
