Overview
The southwestern corner of this region is vast and varied, with the Henbane River and Holland Valley to the west, part of Dead Man’s River to the south, and the main tributary bisecting the subregion from east to west. The terrain is mainly steep and rocky, with more rolling hillside in the remote wilderness to the south. Though Lorna’s Truck Stop is the cult outpost, the most important location is Hope County Jail, where the Resistance is holding out against the cult in this region. Head there to help as quickly as you can.
