Cotisse Haven
Sometimes, in order for one to go off into the deep end, they must first feel the sense of security that comes with knowing there is something to grasp should their confidence falter or worst comes to worst. For many, Cotisse fulfills this duty admirably. This is thanks to its close distance to Hammerhead while requiring some effort to reach nonetheless. In the event that the small trek there is too much for beginner campers, it is simple enough to return to the diner and reconsider their approach. Yet if one feels confident enough in following one of the many paths which lead to Cotisse or making their way past the occasional pack of Sabretooths, they will find comfortable enough lodgings indeed.
Cotisse is one of the first Havens which showcases the wide plains and towering peaks which make up the Leide area; some may even say that it is one of those which does best in this particular aspect in comparison to many other Leide Havens. On a good clear day where the winds are calm, it is possible to see even the Rock of Ravatogh off in the distance. Those who can appreciate the desert's beauty find Cotisse is thus perfect.
Additionally, proving itself to be more preferable than the two sister Havens off to the east, Cotisse is in possession of some native vegetation which a hungry traveler would find useful. Finding Eos green beans is easy enough; so too is cooking them. If one ventures a little further east, they will find tomatoes to augment their stores of food as well.
However, while Eos green beans may be easy enough to find, the harvest may be somewhat more difficult. This is because of the basin in which they lay, flourishing alongside the spring within. Another which flourishes thanks to the presence of this small spring would be the Bandersnatch. According to local gossip, it is common for the beast to be found near and often within the basin, using the only source of fresh water for miles around in order to cool its constantly red-hot body.
For the more conservative camper who is already well prepared in supplies, likely the most they will ever see of such a creature may be the sight of its steam, a thick haze noticeable even at a distance. Yet for those who are inclined to a refreshing morning hike or hunting the local Reapertail population, they may want to make sure never to venture down into the basin or slip off of the ledge which circles it.
Cotisse is still an excellent test even with such a dangerous creature off in the east. For those who are not certain if the camping life is for them, then Cotissse will serve as a challenge that they either overcome or do not.
In celebration of those who are daring enough to procure fresh produce (or pragmatic enough to simply buy it at Hammerhead, where both green peas and tomatoes are cheap alongside the Leiden pepper which makes this dish), then I would recommend a recipe I call robust bean soup. Whether one is looking to fill their stomach before bed, or awaken feeling healthier than ever, I find this dish compliments the view beautifully.
