Previously known as the Twilight Forest. It is the only true forest left in the world.
Locations
Forest
Half of the forest consists of ancient trees that stretch their roots out in the calm and peace provided by the forest spirits. Many woodland animals make their home here, but the sentient race that lives here is the Children of the Forest. They were given life by the two forest spirits and grow as one with the trees and woodlands. Their power is connected in with that of the forest.
Lots of berries and fruit grow in the forest and everyone who lives there benefits from them. Herbs, bark, and roots are used in medicine and as supplements for the diet of everyone in the forest.
Swamp
The other half of the forest consists of a great swamp the stretches all the way to the sea. It is more dangerous for outsiders thanks to the mud and deceptively shallow looking pools of water. The whole expanse is covered in shrubs, water plants, and a few trees that have managed to adapt, much like mangroves. The northern section has a sequestered piece of swampland that has very little oxygen content and is where most planes and aircrafts the forest inhabitants knock down end up. The shells of ships and outsiders alike remain preserved under the surface of the water and are referred to as the sleepers by natives.
The area to the south becomes more brackish and introduces in the danger of saltwater crocodiles and other predatory creatures. There are still plenty of forest inhabitants that make their home there, but, the further towards the sea they move, the less the spirits are able to protect them.
The Island
A pool of water sits at the heart of the forest, small and pure with a single island in the middle of it. This is the resting place for whichever forest spirit is resting during the given time. It is covered in soft moss and small flowers and provides a clear view of the sky, and sunlight or moonlight pour through when there is no cloud cover.
