Introduction
For one reason or another, you find yourself wandering through the Tangled Wood - specifically, you're following a river that snakes its way through the Foxfire Bramble. They call that specific part of the Bramble the "Wild Wood" for some reason. Despite the sharp thorns poking you on all sides, getting between your scales, you're determined to keep going.
Eventually, you reach a large lake, shaped like the talon of a Guardian Dragon. Another, smaller river, which stretches beyond the horizon, empties into the lake from its middle "claw". A sign on the shore reads, "Scratch Lake".
Beyond the lake, in a huge, shallow valley, you see something highly unnatural - floating islands, tethered down by huge, iron chains. The voices of many Dragons can be heard rising up out of the valley, despite the two moons of Sornieth being high in the sky.
Most unusual of all is the mountainous aqua-colored rock, about as big around as the Fortress of Ends, that sits in the center of the valley. On the ridge overlooking the valley is another sign, with the following words written on it in tall, red letters.
"Welcome to Anomaly Crater, home of the Reversal Pack".

Allies and Enemies
Allies
The Moonlit Grove Clan: The Reversal Pack's closest allies. The Moonlit Grove Clan lives very close to Anomaly Crater, somewhere else in the Wild Wood, and it is not uncommon to see members of either Clan in the other's territory. The Moonlit Grove is also known for being home to several Dopplegängers of Pack members, including, but not limited to, Zim, Peridot, and Ridley.
The Irken Empire: Hey, the Pack's the only thing keeping Zim schmillions of light years away from Operation Impending Doom II. Better to form an alliance and make sure they keep it like that than to run the risk of Zim screwing everything up again, right? Also it means he can't take over/destroy Sornieth because it's now officially under Irken protection. You're welcome, Dragonkind.

Customs, Traditions, and Special Events
Game Day: On the day of every full moon, many of the Pack's members gather together in the Legion's cave and play a custom-made board game simply called "The Game". The Game is actually an ultra-massive amalgamation of several other board games, including, but not limited to,
Monopoly,
Operation,
Chutes and Ladders,
Battleship,
Sorry!,
Candyland,
Mouse Trap, and
Hungry Hungry Hippos. It is specially designed to be played by up to 615 individuals, with each player having their own unique playing piece - cool rocks, miniature figurines, flowers, coins, Legos, a tooth, you name it.
Rules:
- A referee and banker must be chosen before playing.
- Anyone who wants to be the referee has to rock-paper-scissors for the position.
- The referee narrates every action out loud as if it's a sports game.
- The banker is chosen by an online random name generator. Please note that Popple and Whiplash should never be allowed to be bankers, as they will hoard all the fake money for themselves.
- Teams are allowed. Please note that certain players operate exclusively in teams with each other and tend to get... testy if you attempt to separate them. Do not attempt to separate them. Trust me.
- Certain players must be kept apart. Make sure that Dimentio, Greatshow, Jevil, and Mr. L are as far from Marx, Luigi, and Olly as possible. The Prognosticators and the Legion of Stationery cannot be sat near each other. Do not let Burntrap get within speaking range of Bowser, Father, Garmadon, Anakin, Doofenshmirtz, or any other animatronics. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD SOL AND VOIDWALKER BE CAPABLE OF MAKING EYE CONTACT.
- Each player goes in the order of their ranking in the Clan. Teams share the turns of whichever of their members is the highest-ranking.
- Players move by rolling a set of Dungeons & Dragons dice.
- The banker is allowed to buy any part of the city at any given time, but cannot own more than five parts at once.
- Bankrupt players are eliminated and have to sit in the Snake Pit for the rest of The Game. Please note that Ophidiophobia sees this as more of a win than actually completing The Game and will always set himself up to lose as a result. Prevent this for as long as possible.
- Players in Jail have to sit in a bucket of ice labeled "The Bucket of Shame". Please note that Flake, Snow Miser, and Zane are empowered by the cold and will remain unaffected at best, unintentionally kickstarting a new Ice Age at worst. Have someone with Fire powers on standby to prevent the latter. (Just make sure it isn't Burntrap, Ridley, Toby, Dominator, or Sapnap. Trust me on this.)
- Players can only get out of Jail if they roll a seven, pay the banker fifty dollars, or successfully punch the referee in the stomach three times.
- Players are not allowed to roll the dice while in Jail. Yes, this directly contradicts the easiest way to get out of it. You want it, you gotta work for it. Sneak a roll.
- Any player is allowed to declare "Snack Session!" at any given time, during which all other players have to throw a single piece of food into that player's mouth.
- Players who declare "Snack Session!" lose a turn.
- If The Game lasts past 3:30pm, a sleuth of wild Lavaborne Hoaxes on a sugar high are released into the cave and must be fought off before the next hour.
- If the snacks run out, the player/team in last place is tasked with fetching more before their next turn. This does not apply to the Legion, as they are incapable of leaving their cave; the second-to-last must go instead.
- Phantom, Banshee, Howler, MissingNo., or the Grimlurker may occasionally wander into the cave; ignore them unless they directly disrupt The Game. Please note that Howler and MissingNo.'s "disruptions" more often than not end with the board destroyed or corrupted. A new board will have to be constructed immediately.
- A player can only win if they have reached the end of the board, purchased seven property spaces, sank three battleships, made it to the Candy Castle, and trapped an opponent's mouse. In the case of a team, this applies to each of its members.
- The Game cannot end until someone wins. Yes, even if the board is destroyed. In such a case, all players will pick up right where they left off as soon as the new board is finished.
