Terrain: Temperate Rainforest

Temperate rainforests in Alcirya are dominated by coniferous plants and trees like cedars, Douglas firs, cypresses, firs, junipers, kauri, larches, pines, hemlock, redwood, spruce, and yew. The moist conditions of temperate rain forests generally support many types of mosses, ferns and some shrubs and berries. Long wet winters are typical of these forests and produce tremendous amounts of growth leading to a thick, difficult to pass undergrowth and large tree types creating tremendous canopies. Broadleaf trees are also found here, like oak and maple, though in lesser numbers.

Temperatures in the temperate rainforest range from 32 deg F to summer highs in the 80s.

Example Temperate rainforests can be found in the Pacific northwest United States and Canada. Example video.

The fauna of these forests typically includes moose, elk, black-tailed deer, grizzly Bears, Black Bears, otters, rabbits, raccoons.

The ever-present ogre tribes are hearty enough to compete with the dangerous wildlife in these environments, however other humanoids prefer the Temperate Deciduous forests to these dense woods. While not often seen, it is widely accepted that the mysterious Yuan-ti call these forests home as well.
