To the north are the Great cliffs that create a physical border separating the north and south territories of the Veridian and Draynor forests. Further north past these cliffs the land becomes rocky and soon becomes the icy tundra of the Tempos Mountains.

The Waterfalls
North of Veridian Village, and on the Veridian River are Veridian Falls. The Falls are on the Great Cliffs, funneling the massive Veridian River into a large and deep lake that then transforms the flow of Veridian River into a slow and deep channel that flows out into Draynor Bay. The Forest Surrounding this area is vibrant with life, the grass is lush and green, and many different species of plants are found near the Veridian Falls.
This area is fairly secluded, but while visiting the area you will still find many animals use this as a watering hole. Visiting The Veridian Falls brings you the perfect opportunity to get away from the village and be alone.

Draynor Forest.
Draynor Forest Is located North East of Veridian. Here the forest starts on the east banks of the Veridian River, and ends on the Yulan Coast. This Small forest is more lush and full of life compared to the great Veridian Forest in the west. Here you will find small creeks that flow off of Veridian River and lead into marshlands, and further east the forest turns into sandy beaches on the Yulan coast and on the northern borders of Draynor Bay. North of Veridian Village, the Great Cliffs cut through Draynor Forest, this area is called North Draynor Forest. Here the Cliffs run north defining the coast of that area. Veridian River still will separate North Draynor Forest From North Veridian Forest.

Veridian River Veridian River, or the Great River. The veridian river is the largest river in the surrounding area, and defines the majority of the borders and major areas. The Veridian river flows south from the Tempos Mountains, and creates the Veridian Falls on the Great Cliffs. Then flows directly to Veridian where it has been funneled by Dams created by the people of Veridian and has been routed through the Town by Aqua-ducts creating channels for easy trade within Veridian before being released into Draynor Bay at the port.

Veridian Forest  "The Great Forest" is what some of the older villagers will refer to Veridian Forest as, for it seems to be endless. Veridian Forest begins on the west bank of the Veridian River, and pushes west for hundreds of miles. The Veridian Forest holds the major trade route out of Veridian Village, and because of its massive size, it is known to have Bandit camps, Raiders, Thieves and Monsters and Creatures of all sorts. Many parts of Veridian Forest are actually unmapped because of the inhabitants of those unknown areas. Some caves have been discovered that still have little known about them.
North of Veridian Village, The Great Cliffs cut through Veridian Forest as well. And again this separated area is known as North Veridian Forest. Here is the beginning of the Tempos Mountain Range that fills the mass majority of North Veridian Forest and stretches north west creating the border for the icy tundra of the great northern expanse. In recent Years this area has been known to have an increased number of Orc, Ogre, Hobgoblin, and Goblin sightings, and travelers to this area are advised to use EXTREME caution.  Places in the Veridian Forest include the Major Oak and the Forest Ruins. The Major Oak is a massive tree with a trunk 35 feet in diameter. Its the largest and oldest tree in the forest.
The Forest ruins are a small series of columns and stone walls, long abandoned by whatever race built them and now overgrown with vegetation.

Draynor Bay Draynor Bay is located in the East district of Veridian and is the only regulated port on the Yulan Coast. Here you will find all manner of shops and trade vendors selling exotic wares from other countries across the sea. Fish, sea food, herbs and spices are but a small fraction of the wares you can find here. Being a major trade hub also comes with a dark side, Draynor Bay is a known hangout for Thieves, Whores, Slavers and cut-throat Pirates. When shopping or just visiting Draynor Bay, you will be wise to tie an extra knot on your coin purse, unless you want to become a poor man quickly.

Tempos Mountains & the Great Expanse The Tempos Mountains are far North of Veridian, They can be seen from Veridian but are far off in the distance, a looming shadow of the wild world surrounding the peaceful town. Not much is known about the land past the Tempos mountains, some travelers have spoken of a vast tundra spanning for miles and miles, a never ending world of ice. Others speak of Yetti and Giants inhabiting the Moutains. To the adventurer the Tempos mountains are a world of danger and discovery, to others it is a place of death and sorrow... What will they be to you?

The Yulan Coast The Yulan Coast is North East of Veridian, it spans the entire coast of Draynor Forest until it is cut off by the Great Cliffs. Here you will find sandy beaches, drift wood and all manner of sea life. Because it is the border of Draynor there have been times where creatures will attack beach goers and sometimes intrude on Veridian its self. If you do decide to take a day off and see the Beach, be warned to not lower your guard, or have an armed escort provided by the Knights Guild.
