Location Descriptions
Ranging from tidbits of the times of settlers to the days of the Civil War, to the fight for civil rights in America and the modern day, Georgia is chock-full of history. The Appalachians reach into its northern sector, and in the south, the Okefenokee Swamp does lie; in both the Shadow and reality, the state's geography is diverse. Below are some locations relevant to the chronicle, and links to interesting places for your perusal.

(Please note: the sheer variety of locations in and around Northern Georgia means that not everything will be covered here. These are examples of notable places for plot hooks in the story of our chronicle. If you have any particular areas that you would like written up for, please leave a message in the C-box or in the General Discussion thread. Thank you! :) )
