Brookside

The village of Brookside is nestled among the branches of the River Brookwasch on the eastern edge of Drachvald.

Lore
Brookside is located in the Drachvald region in the northeast of Novia directly south of Spite. It is the hometown of Samael and was overrun by the Undead armies of Anapa not long ago. Players will encounter this town when following their quests along the Path of Love.

The town of Brookside is a village located in Drachvald between Spite and Rhun. It is the site where Samael lost his family. The village has a history of being overrun by the undead, it is a dark foggy town nestled in pine forest filled with wary town folks and decrepit buildings.

The abandoned manor, once a luxurious estate, now lies in ruins just north of Brookside, a remnant of the undead overrun. The locals are careful not to get too close…

Trivia

 * Brookside started as a cloned scene using one of our PRT / POT templates based off of the Forest 02 POT template (a forested variation of the Grasslands POT template). It first appeared in Release 27. For Release 38 it was rebuilt with new flora, new atmospheric settings like permanent fog, a graveyard, and other unique features.
 * Inspiration for this scene came from New England towns, and “Sleepy Hollow”.
