The Moors

The moors is an expanse of land that lies just outside Citadel. Unlike the land within Citadel and Azure Town, it is made up of natural soil, rocks and flora and is not sculpted by Simone. No Variants live here, except those who have been exiled.
No-one knows exactly how far it goes, not even those who have been exiled and returned. It is rumoured that there is a sea beyond the moors, but this has not been verified and is often considered to be nothing more than a fairy tale.

Geography

The exact terrain of the moors is a mystery to many. That's because topographical scans of it have shown that the hills seem to "shift" and change location on a regular basis. When the switch was made to live scans, it was discovered that the hills were not moving, but actually rising and falling, as if the land itself were breathing. There is a theory that there are "pairs" of hills that rise as the other is falling and vice versa, but no-one has been able to map them out.
There are also some forests where wildlife live. These appear to exist between the moving hills and do not move themselves.

Localized Phenomena

At night a purple aurora will sometimes appear in the sky.

Climate

The moors has intermittent windy periods, which often make it difficult to walk. The winds get worse the higher up into the hills you go.

Fauna & Flora

The land is covered with heather as well as a variety of grasses and other natural flora. The forests are where most of the animals live, believed to be due to the unstable nature of the rest of the land.

History

The moors have historically been used to send away Variants who have been exiled from Citadel.
