Subregion 5: Elk Jaw Lodge

Overview

The largest concentration of locations is nestled in the southern part of this subregion, which has a bit of everything: To the west are some remote mountains and a winding trail leading south to Holland Valley. The main road loop runs around Langford Lake and a cult compound named Stone Ridge Chalet. The water empties out into Widow’s Creek, then into Clagett Bay and finally Silver Lake. North are some smaller lakes and low hills, while the lush grassland to the south reveals the topography of Holland Valley. Finally, though this region is named for the Elk Jaw Lodge cult outpost, the more important location is Wolf’s Den (in the northern climbs), where the Whitetail Militia finally reveal themselves to you.
