Drowning Cliffs

The Drowning Cliffs is a cold and wet Area in a Mountain Range, rain is commonplace, creating waterfalls from the clifftops, it is the starting Area for hunters of Jango Village. During the day the area is covered by thick clouds and there's occasional rain which may prevent explosives from being used, during the night the rain intensifies and the area is covered in an ominous mist.
