The Cacti Holt

Across the northern border of Sabal, against the will of the desert, a great forest of Cacti has sprouted. Cacti tower hundreds of feet up in some places, their massive arms almost as large as buildings with spines to match. Whatever magic has allowed such things to prosper truly shows that life will find a way, even in such a place. The Cacti Holt has brought industry and craft-masters to the area with the will to find new and unique applications for such raw materials. Small logging style camps and settlements have sprung up along its perimeter in recent years and items produced from cacti hide and other natural materials have begun to appear in markets all across Sabal and beyond. Though a pitched battle has begun between the loggers and a new species of creature not seen before, the Warluns. A small monkey-like species not unlike gnomes who use blowguns and the poisons of the cacti to keep any who wander to deep at bay. It is believed that settlements of the creature reside high up in cacti at the centre of the Holt, though none have got close enough to see them. Another boon unknown to the Sabllians but not to those of the Kingdom of Alenian, is that of a secret path, one that traverses the Cliffs of Drendor without having to pass through Gracecall or Gragpass. One that can avoid taxes and the eyes of officials.
