Borders Of The Hill And The Lands Beyond

To the North

The lands north of the Hill seem to be suitable for expansion, but every settler group has disappeared. There are rumors of survivors who tell wild tales of poison, great beasts, evil humans, and madness.

To the West

West of the Western Hill are unknown badlands. As the Western Hill population grows, lands to the west start to look more and more interesting to explorers.

The West-Central Ridge

The West-Central Ridge is the border between the Western Hill and the Central Hill. The Grand Committee has a permanent meeting hall on the West-Central Ridge; this is where the four annual Conclaves of the Grand Committee take place.

Borders of the Eastern Ridge

The Eastern Ridge has rough, poorly defined borders with the Central Ridge and the Eastern Forest. The folk of the Great Hawk Church tend to not pay much attention to these borders, as nobody seems to try expansion into their state.

To the East

The Eastern Forest is so unfriendly and dangerous to outsiders that nobody really knows how far it extends to the east, or what is beyond.

To the South: The Great Road

South of the Western Hill and Central Hill is the Great Road 1. Beyond it are badlands known to be filled with cats and humans. If there are mice south of the Great Road, nobody on the Hill knows about them. Some squirrel traders tell tales of vast food supplies, and many have maps to these hoards that they're happy to sell to any mouse with the flakes. The road itself is known as a death trap for the foolish.

You may have noticed that most notable things, events, and mice are called Great or Grand. Mice think that adding Great or Grand makes things sound majestic and important.

To the South: South of the Eastern Ridge and Eastern Forest

South of the eastern lands are unexplored badlands. The Eastern Ridge folk don't like to talk about what is beyond their borders, and the Eastern Forest mice are as likely to put a dagger in your throat as talk about anything.
