Situated south of the town of Nake in the Maora Province of the Kami Concord, Orochi Falls is a dense and challenging jungle known for its rugged terrain and abundant wildlife. The jungle is named after the spectacular sight of ancient ruins transforming into cascading waterfalls during heavy rainfall, creating a breathtaking yet hazardous landscape.
Geography and Terrain
Orochi Falls is a lush and thick jungle with a labyrinthine network of paths and overgrown foliage. The terrain is challenging, with dense vegetation and uneven ground making navigation difficult. The jungle is characterized by towering trees, tangled vines, and a rich undergrowth that thrives in the humid climate. During monsoon seasons, the heavy rains turn the ancient ruins into a series of cascading waterfalls, creating a dramatic and slippery environment. The increased water flow can make the area treacherous and dangerous, particularly in the areas where the ruins become waterfalls.
Wildlife
The jungle is home to a variety of large dinosaurs that roam its depths. These formidable creatures are both hunters and formidable obstacles for anyone attempting to traverse the jungle. The presence of these dinosaurs adds to the danger and mystery of the jungle, as they largely avoid contact with humans and are known for their unpredictable behavior.
The dense jungle is also rich in other forms of wildlife, including smaller mammals, reptiles, and a variety of exotic birds. The diversity of fauna contributes to the complex and dynamic ecosystem of Orochi Falls, where survival is a constant challenge for both flora and fauna.
Ancient Ruins
Orochi Falls is notable for the ancient ruins that lie hidden beneath the jungle’s dense canopy. These ruins date back to the early days of the Nagan Empire, having fallen into disrepair and obscurity after the civil war and the subsequent rise of the Kami Concord. The ruins are now overgrown with vegetation, their crumbling structures serving as natural habitats for the local flora and fauna.
The ruins are partially obscured by the thick jungle growth, making them difficult to locate and explore. However, the remnants of ancient architecture, including stone pillars, statues, and crumbling walls, can occasionally be glimpsed through the foliage.
Hazards and Navigation
The jungle’s dense vegetation and unpredictable terrain make it challenging to navigate. The shifting conditions during the monsoon season, with the transformation of ruins into waterfalls, can make the jungle particularly hazardous. The slippery, waterlogged ground increases the risk of falls and accidents.
Local inhabitants of Nake are generally cautious about venturing too deep into Orochi Falls. They primarily stick to the outskirts of the jungle to gather fruits and berries that grow in the less treacherous parts of the forest. The jungle’s dangers and the presence of large dinosaurs make deeper exploration a perilous endeavor.
