Fairel Forest

Fairel forest is massive both in its area span and its vertical height. It covers a large kingdom's worth of land but only its outskirts are properly mapped. With trees reaching high, some nearly to a mile, it's a world of constant twilight.
Also know as The Graveyard of Gods, it is the resting place of gods who fell in the War of the Gods, each tree marks a grave. Soem trees are ordinary, some inherited properties of the gods, there are fiery trees for the fire gods, floating trees for the gods of winds and many even stranger.
Fairel is a place of strong wild magic. Only a fool wanders away from the known paths, the trees twost reality around them and one nevers knows where you might end up. Some shifts in space-time are known and used for travel through Fairel, as voyaging through the heart of the forest itself is too dangerous.

Geography

The trees od Fairel are geographial features themselves, almost mountains. The terrain is uneven, mostly shaped by massive roots and/or fallen branches. Most important are the Water Trees which are marked either by lakes or great waterfalls. These trees are often the only source of clean water in the forest which makes them the perfect locations for settling villages and towns.

Fauna & Flora

At the edge of the great forest live ordinary creatures but the deeper one ventures, the stranger everything becomes. Explorers speak of gigantic creatures as well as beings which defy even the laws of magic. These animals tend to be dangerous, though some have been found to be benevolent, even being worshipped by the inhabitans of the forest.
There are few plants in the deep forest, not much sunlight penetrates through the foliage of the great trees. There are tales of flowers making theur own light but no one has ever confirmed these stories.
