The Greatwood

Geography

Considered a 'small' land in terms of overall geography.
Though this enchanting forest is rather large, it is not easy to find. Magically warded by the Fae, only those who know the correct paths will ever be able to find themselves in the heart of this lush magical kingdom. Wanderers will simply find themselves turned around and spat out after having delved only a few hundred feet or so into the woods.   Given that very few travelers other than the Fae find themselves in these woods, most of the animals are quite friendly and have lost many of their flight instincts when it comes to strangers.

Localized Phenomena

Movement is restricted: you cannot get to the Sidhe village unless you know the way. If not, the forest will repeatedly spit you out (the trees will move and you will find yourself outside of the forest).   The forest is sentient. The trees often play tricks on those who wander through, making them walk in endless circles before spitting them out right where they began.   <h3>Regional Quest Upgrades</h3> Mimsey Borogroves | Any Ascended (including demigods and hybrids) who enter the Greatwood will be grabbed and held fast by tree branches. These do no harm to those captured, but they will be unable to escape and may only be freed by a leader of the region.

Fauna & Flora

The Greatwood is a vast wood, where sunlight spills through the canopy and there is always an air of mystery and magic. Because only the fae dwell here, animals are more bold and unafraid of travelers.   Regular forest animals can be found in abundance here (animals normally found in temperate deciduous/coniferous forests, such as deer, moose, porcupines, eagles, crows, foxes, woodpeckers, wolves, cougars, etc). Given that very few travelers other than the Fae find themselves in these woods, most of the animals are quite friendly and have lost many of their flight instincts when it comes to strangers.
