The Golden Forest
The Golden Forest is situated in Astafar (formerly the Great Old One Pact-Land) immediately north of the central desert lands, spans from east to west coasts, and runs to the south edge of The Blue City. It is named for its most overwhelming feature: everything growing in the forest is a singular shade of yellow without variation in tone or hue. It is the only known source of Yellow Wood. It is also a source of many things that no sane person would want exported. Currently, the Golden Forest is in transition from a temperate climate to a nearly-tropical swamp. While the recent tsunami has exacerbated the transition, locals believe the process began sometime before.
Fauna & Flora
The Golden Forest is so called because all plant life within the forest is a single shade of yellow with no variation in tone or hue. This is known to affect the vision of anyone traveling through it in a couple ways. First, after even just a little time, individuals start going "yellow-blind". Depending on how long one has spent in the forest, this can resolve quickly or take quite some time after exiting. Second, depth perception can become distorted while in the forest regardless of time of day or weather, as even using shadows to gauge distances is difficult. This "yellow-blindness" is also the reason why The Blue City is named so.
