The City of Whitewood is one of the First Continent's 10 well established surface cities.

Although much smaller than the other cities, Whitewood is the only that has managed to survive within the The Ashen Groves, making it one of the most well protected cities from its neighbours while simultaneously making it one of the most dangerous cities to live in.

The general populous of Whitewood is a odd one in comparison to the other cities. It is a patchwork of different people from all different walks of life, many of which choose to remain unknown. Originally Whitewood was a place to hide, a place to re-start when you had no where else to go. Criminals and fugitives, runaways and killer, people who had been wronged by the previous lives, all flocked to the hidden city as a place of safety. Those who managed to reach the city settled down there, some of whom started families.

The people of Whitewood are a hardy group, stubborn and not easily swayed. Many keep to their own or stay in small pockets of social circles and seldom stepping out of them. Those born in Whitewood are accustom to cold weather and fare in it much better than your normal person. In the current day most of the population of Whitewood stems from the original individuals who first fled Hollowpoint, with most members of the city being a few generations born there. There is no doubt a few new people still reside in the city to hide, but with the current housing issue in Whitewood, there is less and less space to welcome new arrivals.
