Geography

The Silvas Jankil is a humid tropical jungle in whose natural conditions allow for the constant formation and dissipation of mist and clouds. As such, it provides a superb environment for thick plant and moss growth, and the numerous species of animals and monsters that live within. This makes the journey through Silvas Jankil difficult, but many still brave the ancient roots and roads to trade with the lands beyond. Numerous tribal peoples live in Silvas Jankil, but many are hostile, as the Haradrim often raid and capture them for their slave markets.

History

The Silvas Jankil has proven to be a home and focal point for travel for many throught history, despite the inherent dangers of the vast and misty jungle. The first were the elves, who at some point in their migrations from Al-Andalus wandered here. Many believe it was the result of drought or some other sort of natural disaster that would have driven them into this dangerous land. The next were the duergar, who fled from Romanorum during the First Primordial War. They got lost, and eventually wandered into the jungle. While many didn't make it out, their descendants live in the mountains of Mujmal or as small cavern tribes deep in the jungles. The last were men, seeking new land to call their own. Like the duergar, they too made it to Mujmal, but others have lived on making small tribes or settlements deep in the jungle.
