The Great Oblya Jungle

These jungles have been tried to be colonized many times. It is known for its prestigiously inhospitable terrain, diseases, exotic animals, and mysterious jungle tribes. The Tabaxi and lizardmen are some of the only species that permanently inhabit these lands and the coastlines are littered with the overgrown runes of recent and ancient colonization attempts by other nations. To the south of this jungle is the Sithen nation which coexists with the jungle and has no plans of further expanding into it. The trees in this jungle are said to be alive, with the very plants and earth itself acting out against those who seek to tame these lands.

Fauna & Flora

Viper Vine

The Viper Vine is a notorious plant that thrives within the depths of the Great Oblya Jungle. This carnivorous vine possesses a deceptively beautiful appearance, with vibrant green leaves and delicate tendrils that wind their way around trees and other vegetation. However, its true nature becomes apparent when unsuspecting creatures draw near.
The Viper Vine is equipped with sharp, venomous thorns along its stems. These thorns secrete a potent toxin that paralyzes its prey, rendering them immobile and helpless. Once immobilized, the vine's tendrils constrict around the victim, drawing it closer until it can be enveloped by the vine's carnivorous leaves.
The Viper Vine is a master of mimicry, blending seamlessly with the surrounding foliage to lure unsuspecting creatures into its deadly grasp. Its leaves resemble those of harmless plants, and its tendrils sway gently with the wind, camouflaging its true intentions. Only the keenest of observers can discern the subtle signs of danger.
The indigenous tribes of the Great Oblya Jungle have developed intricate knowledge of the Viper Vine's behavior and have learned to navigate its treacherous territory with caution. They utilize various techniques and herbal remedies to protect themselves from the vine's venomous attacks, using its poisonous properties for their own purposes, such as crafting potent antidotes or coating their weapons with its toxins.
Mist Jaguar

The Mist Jaguar is a majestic and elusive creature that prowls the depths of the Great Oblya Jungle. With its sleek and muscular body, it effortlessly navigates through the dense undergrowth, its spotted fur blending seamlessly with the dappled sunlight that filters through the thick canopy above.
What sets the Mist Jaguar apart is its unique ability to manipulate mist and shadows. It can summon dense veils of mist that shroud its movements, allowing it to stalk its prey undetected. The mist conceals its approach, making it seem as if the jaguar materializes out of thin air when it strikes with deadly precision.
These mystical abilities have given rise to legends among the indigenous tribes of the jungle, who regard the Mist Jaguar as a guardian spirit and a symbol of stealth and agility. They believe that encountering a Mist Jaguar is both a sign of good fortune and a warning to tread carefully within the jungle's unforgiving depths.
The Mist Jaguar possesses razor-sharp claws and powerful jaws, enabling it to bring down prey much larger than itself. It is an apex predator within the Great Oblya Jungle, preying upon smaller animals and occasionally challenging even the most formidable creatures that inhabit the dense foliage.
