Located on Darsha's southern border, the Obsidian Bluffs are a beautiful yet treacherous range of coastline. Between the turbulent surf and sheer cliff faces, this area is reserved for the sure-footed and the strong swimmers. When the tide pulls away, those who are brave enough to traverse the coast will find treasures waiting to be scrounged up from the beach.


Subzones


These subzones may be claimed by packs!
The Shimmering Cliffs
A section of cliffs where time has worn the rock and mineral deposits just so, such that they shimmer in a rainbow of colors when the sun hits them just right.

The Betta Holes
In this line of shore, deep holes carved out of the side of the cliffs in a random pattern above the high surf line. Perfectly curved, these holes make for wonderful dens all year round.

Buzzard Reef
This part of the beach has a large shallow area ringed by rocks that separate it from the deeper waters. Essentially an enormous tide pool, these waters are full of coral and are a popular stomping ground for tide buzzards and betta fry.
 
Brackish Maw
This is where fresh water flows into the sea, forming a large estuary where the cliffs taper off into flat ground. Wallows frequent this area, using it as a nursery for their calves.

The Breakwater
A man-made landform near the shore, the Breakwater forms a harbor that was once a safe place to dock ships for a fishing town. Overfishing and pollution by the townspeople brought Nanai's wrath upon the town, and now nothing remains but splinters of the old buildings. Time has cleared the water and made it bountiful once more, with the Breakwater still protecting the old harbor from the more vicious waves.
 

Domain Guardian: NANAI



  The goddess of the eastern sea, Nanai is just as unpredictable and brutal as the waters she patrols. Far from elusive, she tends to appear anywhere there's a big commotion. Nanai's presence is seen as a good omen to some, while others fear her temper may take a sudden turn and result in a sunken vessel. Unlike her western counterpart Dylana, Nanai isn't open to negotiation when she has cause to believe someone is taking too many liberties with the sea's resources.

"The cliffs along this coast are dotted with underwater caverns. Some of them hold priceless treasures, but you have to be a strong swimmer to reach them. If you can manage it, you might just be rewarded for your efforts. Just make sure you're well prepared before you go. In waters this violent, not many will risk their lives to save you if you misjudge your skill."

Quest Rewards:
10 Gold
5 Seit, Small Treasure Chest

Nanai says:
"You look like an able-bodied individual and I'm hankering for a treat! No, I don't mean you. You're a little rangy for my tastes. Those cliffs over there are a popular nesting site for birds with the tastiest eggs I've ever had! Unfortunately, flippers like mine don't make the best tools for scaling cliffs. Can you go up there and bring back some eggs for me? I'll owe you one if you do!"

Quest Rewards:
10 Gold
Large Treasure Chest
Surefooted Skill (Optional)

Honor Path
• Depict your ketucari scaling the cliffs to secure some bird eggs for Nanai.
 
Notoriety Path
• Your ketucari's not about to risk their life for this! It looks like someone else has already managed to grab some eggs and is already half way down the cliff. Maybe you can wait and pilfer their bounty to bring to her instead? Depict your ketucari taking the dishonest route!
