Great Mart Woods
The Great Mart Woods are a renown and curious place to the north coast of the Duchy which shares its name. The forest is a tight nest of trunks and vines, creating a thick jungle that greatly impedes its exploration. This would be no problem, though through some magical means, the trees of the Great Mart are indestructible.
No axe, dragon or war machine has been able to even scratch a tree of the great mart and that is both a blessing and a curse, for since Velia and the Empire of Lowvire both wish to take eachother's land, the ability to pass the great mart would mean the element of surprise will be granted to those who solve the forest's riddles first.
Geography
The thick, hard roots of the Mart's trees have dug up many stones that previously lay deep underground. This combined with the networks of vines, damp mosses and humid air make the forest a nightmare to traverse.
Fauna & Flora
All manner of beasts that usually roam forests appear here, only limited by the lack of creatures that depend on being able to destroy or consume anything the trees could offer. Sap is irretrievable, bark cannot be flayed, though the leaves are perfectly accessible.
The forest is also home to magical creatures, though nobody knows the exact habitats and positions.
