Rive Territory
I'm sure you must have wondered what lies on the other side of Marion. Well, truth be told, it is a fascinating story. You see, Cazador and Jagter are by far not the only Tribes in this apocalyptic world.... nor are they the strongest powers in this region. There is another side of Marion than the Abandoned City, it is the bay. The bay is a large mass of water fed by the river that opens up into a sea that stretches far along the horizon and provides a coast that helps Marion maintain its supplies. However, in the bay there is an island. The town was a small village, much like Marion, that sadly did not fare as well as our dominant town. This little village was named Rive.
Rive is the name collectively given to the ten-mile radius island and the town of which it was home to. When the zap hit... there was no where for any survivors to flee. The island is connected to the main land by a 5 mile bridge... Marion blocked it off as soon as they learned of the large mass of changed on the Island with a dropping food supply.
Now the changed of Rive have.... organized themselves in a way. They call their tribe Rive in honor of their homeland, though none of the tribe members actually remember anything of their past life. The former village has been reduced to nothing but ash as the last living unchanged were forced to burn the village to escape. Rive travel on their island much like Jagter and Cazador do throughout the zones, however they do not have an opposing tribe.
The island is inhabited by solely Changed and Spared that are most likely on their way to changing. Rive is experiencing trouble with an increase on human food and have become increasingly violent with lone changed on the island. A tyranny is forming, with the two alphas of Rive on the top. The only question is, with the dangers that Marion unknowingly faces, what will happen if Marion isn't able to keep Rive contained?
Will there be an outbreak of death?

Rive Territory
The Meadows
The Island features trees along the outer ring of the island and a large expanse of meadows and hills within the area between the outer rings. This is where the tribe members do most of their hunting and some-such activities. there is also a hidden spring deep within the meadows that only a few of the tribe know about.
The Hidden Spring
The hidden Spring is nestled secretly (of course) in the meadows and only a handful of the tribe actually know it exists. It is a prime place to catch animals searching out water, or even the occasional human or lone changed seeking shelter. It is partially hidden by a dip in a hill that created a curious copse and has the entrance to a cave leading beneath it.
The Caves
The caves below the spring are small and damp. Generally it isn't good for anything... except hiding. The thick moist air seems to stagnate in the caves and many changed can not cope with it due to their heightened sense of smell becoming virtually useless down under the surface of the earth.
The Tree Ring
The tree ring is a cluster of oak trees that had been planted all around the circumference of the circular island. The tree ring is about a mile thick at every point and features nearly every type of oak imaginable, as it had once been a nursery, but little else. One side of the tree ring is the vast expanse of meadows that cover the majority of the island and the other is simply water with currents far to tough and waters far too deep to swim in for very long.
The Blocked Bridge
The five mile long bridge was the only thing, besides now broken ferries and useless boats, that connected the island to the main land. The bridge is blocked by Marion and pretty heavily guarded to keep the rogue changed from leading the island. The block occurs about four miles across the bridge, leaving only a mile left to Marion's shore. It is impossible for anything to get across the blockage except for birds.
