A [[Cluster]] composed of [[Saragoss]], [[Sri Raji]], and the [[Wildlands]], The Verdurous Lands are sweltering, tropical domains where the lush vegetation grows dense and wild. The heat and humidity are unrelenting, drenching travelers in sweat. In these muggy lands, torrential [[rain|rains]] define the years, deluging the verdant landscape with an annual [[Wet Season|wet season]].  The wilds are shadowy and menacing in the Verdurous Lands, stalked by vicious predators and choked by [[poisonous|toxic]] [[plant|plant life]]. Where humanity has slashed back the strangling vegetation and toiled to survive, nature seems to scrabble and claw at his handiwork. In these lands, the savagery of the wilderness is unremitting and terrible.


The [[Verduous Lands | Verduous Lands cluster]] do not have a [[moon]] with potentially interesting consequences for [[lycanthropes]] having some part of the [[lunar cycle]] as their trigger condition. Equally, there should be no [[tide|tides]].

Verdurous Lands Map By David Gibson
Verdurous Lands Map By David Gibson

The Verdurous Lands is a cluster composed of Saragoss, Sri Raji, and The Wildlands. The Verdurous Lands are sweltering, tropical domains where the lush vegetation grows dense and wild. The heat and humidity are unrelenting, drenching travelers in sweat. In these muggy lands, torrential rains define the years, deluging the verdant landscape with an annual wet season. The wilds are shadowy and menacing in the Verdurous Lands, stalked by vicious predators and choked by toxic plant life. Where humanity has slashed back the strangling vegetation and toiled to survive, nature seems to scrabble and claw at his handiwork. In these lands, the savagery of the wilderness is unremitting and terrible.

The Verdurous Lands cluster does not have a moon with potentially interesting consequences for lycanthropes having some part of the lunar cycle as their trigger condition. Equally, there should be no tides.
