Below is important information about each territory. Use this info to help you better place your helix.

Helixes in the neutral territory are currently the only ones allowed to change their territory alliance. But once you change it's permanent so please choose wisely.

The North


Leader: none

Basic Description: A cold and unforgiving landscape few sparse trees and constant snow and rocky terrain. Old brick and concrete buildings, broken and abandoned by the people who have long since been gone. The war is apparent here. In this quiet and horror filled place. This is where the saying "Only the strong survive" reins true as it's every helix for themselves.

Real World Resemblance: The northern area of Canada and up higher even.

Types of Helixes Found Here: The not so nice kind. It's not uncommon to find them skinny with ragged pelts, scars and old wounds. These helixes are hardened by their surroundings and war. Color wise, it really doesn't matter. But you'll never find a winged one here. The air is too cold, the land too flat, and life too hard for the winged ones.

Resources: Prey is scare. Few birds fly here, deer come in only in small groups every so often, and rabbits hide far below the snow level. Water...well what do you think snow is?

Breeding: Finding a mate is hard enough as is...let alone one you'll tolerate. Making it threw a pregnancy is hard and only a few pups survive. There's always one that never makes it out of a litter.

The South


Leader: none

Basic Description: Mostly tropical jungle. It's a humid heat here and plenty of rainfall year around. Most open spaces are farm land near villages where humans still reside. There are a few temples in the region. Most are unused and taken back by the jungles. Helixes are known to take these temples and make them home. The surrounding area becoming their territory.

Also has two small islands to the south in the "lost sea". One island being Wilwarin Unque, the land of the sprites.

Real World Resemblance: Tropical Rainforest of South America.

Types of Helixes Found Here: Brightly colored, or dark even. Some have bright markings. Some mimic wildlife. These helixes are more peaceful than the northern ones and don't feel the harshness of their territory as much. Southern helixes tend to have shorter pelts and are lean but muscular.

Resources: The jungles are filled with a variety of hoofed mammals, rodents, birds, insects and even some small predators. Water is abundant from small streams to large rivers, ponds, to mini lakes. Waterfalls are common in elevated areas.

Breeding: Usually prolific. It's not hard to find a mate that compliments you color wise. It's rare for a pup to not survive it's first year.

Neutral


Leader: Vernan, god of Time

God/dess Found Here: Verity, goddess of Truth (consort to Vernan)

Basic Description: A river and coniferous forest that separates the North from the South with a bridge over the river. This is a rather small area compared to the other four. But a number of helixes call it home, though they tend to wander.

Real World Resemblance: Typical Pacific Northwest Forest

Types of Helixes Found Here: A large variety. No winged helixes though.

Resources: Deer, rabbits, birds and a river as a source of water.

Breeding: This is a rather common meeting place for all territories. It's not hard to find a potential mate here. And raising young here isn't an obstacle.

The East


Leader: Helki, female

God/desses Found Here: Shikoba, god of Darkness (consort to Helki); Amaterasu, goddess of Dawn

Basic Description: A mountainous Asian forest. There are villages here as well. And each village has one person who's see only one alpha helix (no others). With this knowledge a temple is made in honor of this helix for it is their guardian. Helixes will find many gifts of sorts here from the villages. The alpha's will take the gifts to their pack. Here humans and helixes get along well. If one or the other steps out of line Helki will put them in their place. There are also "dead" village and temples. Places that have been claimed by the mountain and forest.

Real World Resemblance: Asian forests/mountains

Types of Helixes Found Here: The winged helixes are the most common. Here is where home is for them. Colorful, and/or intricately marked. And even some who mimic wildlife.

Resources: Deer (be careful that it's not a deer mimicking helix!), monkeys, birds, small rodents, etc. Small rivers, streams, ponds.

Breeding: Some tend to be picky with mates. They most compliment each other. Others prefer love. But having babies is no problem. This world is theirs.

The West


Leader: Menes, god of Death

God/desses Found Here: just Menes

Basic Description: Vast hot and grassy plains as far as the eyes can see. There are small patches of scrub and trees. Dried up water holes, or not so dry ones.

Real World Resemblance: African Savannah

Types of Helixes Found Here: Most common are the wildlife mimickers. Though there can be any colored helix found here.

Resources: Deer, gazelle, antalope, hares, eggs, water

Breeding: Most tend to have large litters here, but not always. Some males also tend to keep harems but those usually are the lion mimickers.
