Lu Saka
Lu Saka is a realm of towering rainforests, winding rivers, and untamed wilderness. The jungle canopy stretches endlessly, its emerald leaves forming a dense roof that filters the sunlight into a hazy green glow. Beneath it, the air is thick with the scent of damp earth and blooming flowers, while the sounds of chattering monkeys, rustling undergrowth, and the distant calls of unseen beasts fill the atmosphere like a constant, living symphony.
Life thrives in the depths of Lu Saka. Orchids bloom in impossible colors, vines coil around ancient trunks, and fireflies shimmer like floating embers at dusk. The jungle floor is alive with movement—small creatures skitter through the undergrowth, war apes patrol their territories, and silverback gorillas watch from above, their dark eyes filled with knowing intelligence. The girallon, the undisputed predator of the treetops, moves unseen through the canopy, its massive form blending into the shadows.
The people of Lu Saka live in harmony with this vast ecosystem. Their villages, hidden among the trees, are built from bamboo, palm fronds, and woven grasses, often perched high in the branches to avoid the dangers lurking below. They are skilled hunters, herbalists, and craftsmen, using generations of knowledge to thrive in a land that would overwhelm the unprepared. They are expert trackers, reading the jungle like a book, and their herbal medicines are highly sought after across Kuma. Rare plants, known for their healing properties, grow only in the deep forest, guarded by creatures both natural and supernatural.
The rivers of Lu Saka carve their way through the jungle, providing both sustenance and passage. Fishermen use intricate traps to catch fish, while traders navigate the winding waterways, carrying goods between villages. When the monsoons arrive, the rivers swell, flooding the land and temporarily shifting the landscape, creating new paths and cutting off old ones.
At the heart of Lu Saka stands Kami, an ancient jungle treant, revered as the spirit of the forest itself. Towering over the trees, its massive limbs stretch toward the sky, its deep-set eyes glowing with an ancient wisdom. Kami’s mood is said to dictate the jungle’s fate—when content, the land flourishes; when angered, the forest becomes a place of treacherous roots, suffocating vines, and unseen dangers. Those who disrespect the balance of Lu Saka risk invoking Kami’s wrath.
