Notable Features/Landmarks
Rivers
Ancestral Plains is currently the only map (besides Caldera) to feature one or more rivers. There are two on the map in total, one draining into a mid-sized lake and the other draining into the inland sea. Both feature varying strengths of current, able to pull and drag young creatures and poor swimmers with it. If a current exercises a strong enough effect on one's creature, there is a possibility of drowning. Exercise caution!
A well-equipped aquatic creature such as a Mosasaurus with speed talents or an Elasmosaurus may be able to swim up either of the rivers.
