Twilight Woods

Situated just outside the walls of Respite, the foreboding twilight woods are virtually untouched, even after ten long cycles since the first landing.

Geography

Densely packed trees let in little light, giving the area its namesake twilight appearance. What little light makes it through the ancient canopy lights thick moss and ferns below. Through this forest wind two rivers, which together with the ample rainfall in the area provide a nearly limitless opportunity for plant growth.

Ecosystem

Currently unknown. However, settlers in Respite report strange noises and lights coming from the trees during the night.

Localized Phenomena

Local hearsay is that if you gaze out over the canopy of these woods on a dark night, you can spy the form of a great dragon, swathed in moonlight.

Fauna & Flora

As a very old forest, the twilight woods house innumerable flora and many types of animals. Most of its secrets remain unknown, however, and the bird calls that echo from the canopy are unlike any known at sea.

Natural Resources

Timber from these trees is a tempting opportunity for some in Respite, and talk of a large scale lumber effort are circulating. Nothing has yet come from these discussions, however.

History

Currently unknown. No attempts have yet been made to settle within these woods, though some have entered and never returned.
