#4 Awards & Area Contest

Area name and description:
Flower Meadow

In the heart of the land, there lies a clearing. Grassy and lush, it offers some refuge to the deer of the forest, for little can approach through the grass unseen. A small, crystal clear stream snakes its way through, possibly a branch of Estreya's Pond meandering through this haven. Flowers of all kinds, shapes, and colors grow, adding a pleasing touch as well as a ready snack in times of need.

Awards Idea -

What are the most common elements in the forest? Leaves. Different colors, shapes, sizes, thickness, etc. Therefore, I think leaves would make an excellent award icon.


Territory Idea -

Arkose Meadow

Arkose Meadow is a beautiful expanse of meadow where deer and predators alike can be found. The tantalizing allure of the grasses that grow almost all year 'round in this meadow is too much for the deer to resist. Likewise, the presence of the deer brings on the arrival of predators. The meadow is graced with tall grasses in most areas, that could easily hide a medium-sized deer, but some of the taller species can still be spotted. Jutting through the center of the meadow is a radius of Arkose, a sedimentary rock that has risen upward from the ground to six feet high. This radius is used mostly for a lookout post for the shorter deer who otherwise might not see hungry predators lurking nearby. It's also often considered a safe place for the younger deer to relax and play while their mothers graze.

Awards idea—perhaps different colored mushrooms or flowers! You could add spots to some of the mushrooms to differentiate between them, or remove petals from the flower to show a more darker achievement. Or, I guess both could be wilted/rotted/dead to show some sort of dark achievement, but I think you get the idea. The possibilities are endless~

Area idea—Canvas Meadows
Beyond the mute Silent Wood lies a clearing full of flowers and vegetation of all kinds, colors, shapes, and scents. The area was blessed by Estreya herself and therefore is much more vibrant and alive than just some ordinary meadow, and the alluring fumes it emits beacons creatures of all sorts to visit. The area is on a more elevated piece of land, and trees dot pleasantly rolling hills on the east-most side of the territory. There is a large cherry blossom tree in what could be considered the middle of the meadow, and it provides shade and comfort for inhabitants in the cruel days of summer, or just as a resting place. The grass is lucious and green as the flowers are colorful and pleasing to the eye. It is so named because if one was to see a bird's eye view of the place, they would be in awe as to how it looks like a beautiful paint splatter of innumerable colors like that on an artist's canvas.
