Kessig is a province in the interior of Innistrad. It consists of rolling farmlands surrounded by dense, dark woods.
Kessig is a province in perpetual autumn. The deep forests influence daily life heavily. The small human communities in agricultural villages, trappers, and hunters groups live at risk in these woods, trying to make a living. Between the isolation and constant danger, most townsfolk here are wary of outsiders.
Locations[edit | edit source]
- The thick Ulvenwald Forest, also known as the "Misty Wood" isolates Kessig from neighboring provinces.
- The Natterknolls, rocky ridges and cliffs that flank the wooded valleys. Inhabited by gibbering hermits and wicked witches.
- The Breakneck Ride, the main paths that lead into Kessig from the other provinces. Each crossway is fraught with peril, leading travelers through the Ulvenwald and over treacherous slopes, so those who make the journey do so at as brisk a pace as possible.
- Hairpin Road, winding down from Getander Pass in Stensia. Watched by Falkenrath vampires.
- Bower Passage, from Gavony straight into the heart of the Ulvenwald. Dryads and nature spirits are said to haunt the passage.
- Briar Bridge, from Nephalia. A thicket of thistles flanks the road. The road intersects a river, the path crosses over a covered wooden bridge.
- Lambholt. A farming village. The pastures near the town were once mingled with woods but the villagers chopped down all but a few trees to clear room for their farms. Werewolves continually terrorize livestock and humans.
- Avabruck. Kessig's former provincial seat, now a ruin of wood and brick referred to as Hollowhenge.
- Devils' Breach, a fissure that has opened in the earth. Far from the towns.
