The Boroughs
Grimsby Grove is separated into different Boroughs. Each Borough is the equivalent of a city state within Grimsby Grove. Many Folk often travel between these Boroughs, however some can go about their whole lives without seeing what another Borough would look like. These Boroughs come together with one representative for each to vote on important things, as Grimsby Grove usually works on it's own without any known leaders despite being lead by a Jarl.
Willow Valley
The entryway of the colony. Willow Valley has large and expansive skies along with various farms, large houses and private businesses. Willow Valley is usually were those who are more affluent live; those with long and expansive bloodlines, digging deep into the roots of Grimsby Grove, with acorns and pinecones for generations running through their pockets. It is also considered a spot where many travelers often visit, possessing many shops, Inns and Taverns, and other small businesses. Willow Valley is one of the least populated Boroughs due to its exposure to the open sky, but it still offers many benefits to those who choose to live there. Some Folk say living under the exposed sky brings better health.
Willow Valley is for you if you're wishing to live a more isolated life, want a lot of land, or want to create a traditional farm/business.

Great Tree
The heart of the colony. Great Tree is located inside of the Elder Tree of Grimsby Grove. It's where most of the Folk live, and it's a hot spot for all sort of businesses, apartment buildings (made of tree bark), and social events. Many of the guilds are located here, and almost all of the Kits within Grimsby Grove live within the Great Tree. The Elder Tree is home not just for Folk, but various other species that co-exist with Folk, including creatures that eat any parasites that plague the Elder Tree's health. These critters roam free within the Great Tree's streets, either living among the Folk as pets, as wild animals, or (occasionally) being a general problem.
The Den is also located here, where most Kits within Grimsby Grove are commonly raised in due to their natural inclination for communal raising.

NPCs of the Great Tree
Whispering Caves
Deep under the Great Tree lays Whispering Caves, an area below the Elder Tree's roots where Folk have also made their homes. Whispering Caves has a lot of ground-dwelling creatures, as well as small houses for Folk who don't want the isolation of Willow Valley or the hustle and bustle of Great Tree. A suburban neighborhood, Whispering Caves has many waterways, lakes, and slow rivers, making it the perfect home for Druid Folk. Many Druids live here - quite possibly all of the small percentage of Grimsby Grove's Druid population. Many of the bridges here are made from bones of large creatures lost to time, prior denizens of the caves that perished before the Folk came. Folk use any and all of the bones, scales, and other items found within Whispering Caves to make their homes.
Many farms for various Folk-domesticated animals are around, but they're not as big or as expansive as the farms seen in Willow Valley. There's also a mining project here, where Folk often find relics of the Old World.

Forgotten District
This location has been found by the kits of Grimsby Grove on year one.
A living museum of the old world. The Forgotten District is affectionately known as a Kit's playground. It's an abandoned amusement park that somehow still has power. It is located just outside of Willow Valley but is still under the protection of the Elder Tree. The district has been mostly reclaimed by surrounding plant life. Some of the machines still work and kits learn their technology skills by hotwiring them. It is a perfect place for newly independent kits to learn their skills and satisfy their desire to explore by finding all of the little nooks and crannies. Kits who live in The Forgotten District are considered runaways from The Den.
