Looking For The Edge Of The End Of the World

…it’s surprisingly close

The Long & Winding Road

Part 63

The Pleasant Hills

If this country were on our Earth, it would probably be called “a whole country of goddamned hippies”. These humans, who may or may not be possessed of a touch of fairy blood, live in everything from brightly colored nomadic tents to homie farmhouses to small towns and villages no two of which share the same architecture. The “Hillies” are very friendly, open, honest, loving and rather spacey. They will not accept money for anything, but will accept light labor, traded goods, or entertainment as payment.

Hillies do practice a form of druidic nature magic. It is usually done while lightly stoned. Sometimes, it includes nudity and/or sex.

While there is plenty of wildlife and even a few monsters here, they almost never show aggression unless provoked. Oddly, no bandits or other outlaws will willingly enter this land.

The Road travels 130 miles through this hilly and groovy land. It is made up of woodchips that smell of different things, such as incense, vanilla, and coconut, as you travel along it.
