• • arduous ridge

Known as the main landmark of the Xarthen Dominion, the Arduous Ridge is one of the largest cliffs within all of Vixtentile. Not nearly as steep as the Wailing Bluff, the ridge extends from the earth below at a more gradual, easier rate, and seeing as it’s littered with dirt paths used by the canines residing here, it’s a much easier climb. Often, anywhere near the ridge, howls can be heard upon the wind, fading as it’s carried off, all throughout the island. Now, this is a generally pleasant spot, but can be deadly, should one misplace a single, clumsy paw—so, those of you that are inexperienced with the land, tread with extreme caution.
