Sweetwater Hollow

Sweetwater Hollow is a large valley-like area located just outside large mountain-ranges. The valleys here are excessively deep, making the terrain somewhat hard to traverse. While some valleys slope gently towards the bottom, most of them are extremely steep and have caused many an equine to lose their footing if they are not careful. While tumbling to the bottom isn't necessarily deadly to an equine, it can cause some severe injury in extreme cases, but will mostly just cause some bruising and soreness. Grass here is tall, though a bit flavorless compared to the surrounding areas. However, as the name implies, the scarce rivers that flow through the valleys contain the sweetest water known to Atera. Sweetwater Hollow is home to bachelor stallions and mares who do not wish to be part of the herd life, or those who have been kicked from their homes. With no marked territories here, it is not uncommon for small squabbles to erupt among the equines choosing to inhabit this area. No claiming may take place here, though some equines do sometimes travel in small groups of three to five.
