Persistence is now set within a forest clearing with a river running through it. The buildings are log cabins with animal hide tarps cast over the roofs, which are further decorated by painted banners and wooden carvings of predatory birds. The use of black, red, and white colours and strong outlines in these banners resembles the formline art utilized by several tribes long the North American pacific coast, and is also seen in the Fifer's Spire.

One of the tribesman is a minidemon in disguise, and requires Ra's mirror to be recruited.
