Rustrock

Taking its name from the land's predominately reddish hue, this area was once crowded with stonecutters carving out blocks for building materials. Though quarries were common in the days of the Ala Mhigan monarchy, Rustrock is now overrun with dangerous wildlife and other monstrous denizens.

— In-game description

Rustrock is an area in The Peaks.

Mason's Falls

Stone quarried from a location further upriver would be lashed securely to a raft before being pushed over this waterfall. Yet is was so long ago when a raft was last dropped that those who know of the practice - and the reason for the falls' name - are dwindling in number every year.

Heather Falls

A short distance upriver from Mason's Falls, this cascade is named for the color of its churning waters' froth - a delicate white reminiscent of heather. The plant in question, unlike the hardy native flowers blanketing the falls' surrounds, would struggle to bloom in the region's barren soil, however.

Hidden Tear

A shrine for honoring the departed, backed by a waterfall whose constant roaring muffles one's sobs and whose spraying hides one's tears. Such religious rites were outlawed under imperial rule, and for a long time people could not hold even the simplest services to remember loved ones.

Sleeping Stones

This quarry was once worked by Ala Grannhan stonecutters, the rock said to slumber in silence between each clanging shift. Yet now, with none coming to harvest their bounty, the stones may never again awaken to the kiss of pick or chisel.

The Ephor

Carved in the likeness of Rhalgr in his arbiter incarnation, this statue seemed ever poised to pass divine judgement. The demonic visage and accusatory finger were destroyed, however, when the Garlean army conducted a purge of all religious iconography.

Witherwander

This winding path was once walked by young men and women seeking to enter the monkhood. It is said that enchanted devices would befuddle those whose concentration wavered, meaning that any unfocused souls would soon lose their way.

Momoroon's Milk

Momoroon, the compassionate greatmother, leads the band of blood-crazed Qiqirn which calls this village home. Tales are told of the "milk" the greatmother feeds to her children - a rice gruel tainted with strange medicines said to nurture a brutal temperament.
