The White Lung Basin is a vast wilderness depression known as the Breathless Salt, the Mourning Flats, or Saintless Hollow. Cracked white salt stretches between rust-red stone ribs, buried salvage, and fog-choked ravines. The fixed sun flickers overhead like a failing lamp, while the wandering sun draws metallic mist across the basin. Four survivors escorting Mihu may cross this region to evade Morvath's cult, but the contamination quietly reacts to her presence and reveals their trail.

Field Observations

The fixed sun flickers and makes shadows stutter around buried structures.,Mihu's presence causes blue sparks and fresh voices to gather in the fog.,Travelers can avoid danger through stealth, diplomacy, careful mapping, or swift violence.

Cultures

Salt-road survivor traditions blend scavenger pragmatism with rituals honoring silence, memory, and useful machinery.

Chitinikk influence appears in communal hunting customs, resin craft, and strict respect for nesting boundaries.

Old Source-era habits survive among technicians who treat broken devices as wounded ancestors.
