Clan Lockjaw: Geography and Gathering
-The Fortress itself is located in the northeastern area of the Scarred wasteland, situated between the Dragonhome and Tangled Wood borders. Dust storms are frequent, and most structures that aren’t within the walls have canvas awnings that drop down to keep the doorway from accumulating dust.
-The Leather Wood, a forest of fleshy trees and alien-looking carnivorous plants, including the parasitic roses that claimed the life of clan Lockjaw’s nature representative Brankar, is located on the Tangled Wood edge of the territory. It is a plentiful foraging ground, but one must watch their surroundings. Often, the forest will be hunting you.
-Most of the clan’s insect and meat supply simply comes from finding dead things. As disgusting as it seems, corpses are plentiful supplies of insects, and sometimes the carcasses are in good enough condition to eat. Some of the more civil dragons in the clan are picky about this, but most have learned not to care. Some are even willing to eat dragon carcass, though this is frowned upon if it’s not absolutely critical to survival. Carcasses that are deemed inedible are used to grow mushrooms to feed the clan’s plant-eaters.
-Fishing is done within swamps and salt marshes, or along the coastline of the Sea of a Thousand Currents.
-The clan’s mining operations take place in two areas; along the borders of Dragonhome and the Starfall Isles. Dredge is wary of the magical radiation of the latter area, but the magical energy of the crystal is useful to enchanters both within the clan and in other places.
-There are salt flats near the coast, likely from before the Sea was pushed back by the pestilent tendrils of the Wandering Contagion. The clan harvests the salt primarily to cure any fresh meat they might acquire, but also to sell to other clans.
-A large portion of the clan’s income comes from scavenging due to Matriarch Cytagal’s expertise in the area. There are plenty of destroyed clan sites and caravan wrecks to sift through, especially on the Wasteland-Dragonhome border.
