Autumn's Rise is a location in CrossWorlds. It is a large, forested area crisscrossed by rivers where it appears to be permanently autumn. This is the first area Seekers explore when they exit Rookie Harbor.

Autumn's Rise
Autumn's Rise is a temperate area that seems to be in a state of permanent autumn. It's the first area a Seeker has to travel through. The Fauna mainly consists of Hedgehags and Rockin' Hillkats but the area also contains some rather nasty Mad Bovines to deal with. Going off-path in Autumn's Rise might lead to interesting places such as the Old Observatory in the south-west of the area.

Layout

Autumn's Rise stretches in a roughly east-west direction between Rookie Harbor and Bergen Trail. The halfway point of the area is Obelisk Lake, where a large obelisk serves as a waypoint and hosts a small group of traders. In the southwest stands a mysterious abandoned observatory. To the north is a small guild village known as Autumn Residences.

Most of the area can be accessed immediately, with the exception of Autumn Residences, which is unlocked when you meet the First Scholars after reaching Bergen Village.

The regions adjacent to Autumn's Rise are Rookie Harbor via Entrance, Bergen Trail via Ending Pathway, and Autumn's Fall later on via Normal Clearing.

Challenges and secrets

The Autumn's Rise Observatory is located in the area. It can be accessed in the last part of the quest chain A Promise is a Promise.

There is a Perfectly Ordinary Tree located in the Normal Clearing area. Its presence is completely irrelevant. There seem to be similarly shaped things in different regions.

The Drippy Den is a hidden cave area accessible from Pathway 4 and Off Road 2 by jumping across the water.
