Shrouded Woods
The shrouded woods have earned their name from the intense fog that fills the area. This fog is caused by two colliding waterfalls coming from the cragged mountains to the north. This waterfall pours into an unnamed river that flows into the Tartaris River further south. Many predators roam here using senses that no mere eyes are capable of. Dangerous plants are also a threat due to the greenhouse effect giving them incredible size. The river is also mineral rich which has caused the wildlife that relies on it to grow larger as well.
Geography
The Shrouded Woods is a forest with thick undergrowth that is difficult to move through. There are many hills, ravines, and ledges due to the vacinity of the Cragged Mountain range. Thick tree trunks can be seen disappearing into the fog above as they reach incredible heights for a taste of sunlight. A lake flows through these woods leading further south to connect with another river. It is mineral rich and clean for drinking.
Ecosystem
Many different dangerous plants thrive in the area eating creatures that have lost their way in the fog. The wildlife is also quite menacing as ordinary creatures grow larger in the area due to the mineral rich water. The fog creates enough moisture for plants, fungus and amphibious creatures to thrive in the environment.
Climate
Generally the forest is hot and humid during the warmer months of the year. However as the temperature begins to cool the fog slowly dissipates as the waterfalls begin to freeze for the winter.
Tourism
Many adventurers, artists and bards lose their way in these woods looking for the twin falls in the northern Cragged Mountains. The twin falls are a majestic sight to behold and are even more captivating once they have frozen for the winter.
