Quarterstone is an area found in [[Western La Noscea]]. Once a bountiful farming land full of fields of wheat, the area was struck hard by the Calamity's environmental effects. The land was leeched of life, making it unsuitable for all but the most tenacious farmers. Dodos once kept as livestock escaped and grew feral, taking over the ruins of their old homesteads. The burned out farms are also often used by buccaneers hiding away from the watchful eyes of the Yellowjackets.
