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 CrossWorlds players explore when they exit Rookie Harbor.

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, an abandoned observatory once held a monster-fighting tournament. To the north is a small guild village which is currently inaccessible.

Challenges and Secrets

In the Hedgehag's Den area, defeating 18 enemies will cause the Blue Hedgehag miniboss to spawn. Defeating this enemy is necessary for the A Promise is a Promise sidequest.

Completing the Old Observatory sidequest will unlock the timed and repeatable Enemy Rush challenge.

There is a perfectly ordinary tree located in the ??? area. Its presence is completely irrelevant. There seem to be similarly shaped things in different regions.
