Wet forest. Shrieking Bandits.

🗺 See this place on the map ↗

Dense forest with water and fertility both maxed out and perfect stone quality on top — farmland as good as anywhere on the map. The only problem is that it already has owners: Shrieking Bandits in groups of nine to twenty-six, screaming day and night.

Shrieking BanditsHostile squadThe whole zone; the entire forest is their territoryThe only thing in this forest that will come after you, and they come nine to twenty-six at a time, running and screaming. Sometimes they will come up and "talk" to you first — it is really just a string of shrieks, and if you shriek back and pick the right response, the group turns around and goes home; pick wrong and the fight starts on the spot, and picking right is not easy. They are chronically malnourished and carry nothing but crude Flesh Cleavers, but there are a lot of them, and there is no third-party faction in this region to shield you.

Getting there
