Danger: Normal
Sub zones: Chordoni river
Inhabitants: naga, arboreal frogs, rock harpies, starkala bugs

The Chordoni waterfalls are situated in a thin band between the forest of whispers and deeper Felarya. Here the lush forest of whispers gives way to a damp network of thick, low vegetation, teeming with life. The sky is full of birds of every size and color, and the air is filled with the sweet aroma of the many fruits that grow here. The waterfalls themselves are huge, dwarfing even a giant naga. For a human, their size is incomprehensible. The water plunges from an enormous height and crashes in to the lake bellow, creating a perpetual light fog of droplets. The origin of the waterfalls is an absolute mystery. The water seems to come directly from the rock but there is no nearby detectable river, even underground. Many scientists believe that the water actually comes from another world, through a portal encased in the stone.

The zone on the whole is less dangerous than many other areas of Felarya but it's still risky. The main danger comes from a giant naga called Vivian, who dwells here and loves to bath in the waterfalls. She is rather lazy but possess many means to lure her prey. A small colony of rock harpies live in the cliff as well. Just next to the waterfalls is a natural gate leading to the dark depths of Evernight forest.

The Chordoni waterfalls form a river flowing to the great Jadong lake and a beautiful beach. Unlike the relatively safe waterfalls, the beach is dangerous. There are always a few giant hybrid females lying here, relaxing and enjoying the area, including some giant hybrids from the nearby and terrible jungle of perils. These races don't necessary get along very well but some unspoken agreement has made the beach a neutral ground, available for all to enjoy.

Danger: Hazardous
Inhabitants:

Jadong Lake - Siren Sands

Siren sands is a rather large stretch of beach on Jadong lake. Located north of Bulvon woods and near the end of the Chordoni river, it is named after the numerous giant mermaids, among other predators, known to sunbathe on its soft warm sands during the early hours of the morning.

While peaceful looking enough, one must always remember that dangers such as the fact that the infamous mermaid Anko lives nearby and wont think twice about snapping up an unwary adventure too close to the water with her frog-like tongue. While this alone would seem to be a strong enough deterrent to most adventures, many continue to go there. Knowingly risking the danger of being eaten, they come for the numerous ebony pearls that wash up on the sands. These pearls are highly prized, and even a handful of them is worth a small fortune. Where they keep coming from is unknown, though it is speculated that they originate from giant clams living on the bottom of Jadong lake. Though their origin is inconsequential, it is treasures like these that keep on attracting treasure hunters and keep on keeping predators like Anko full.
