Great Forest of Juru

The term Juru may also refers to:

The Great Forest of Juru

  The Great Forest of Juru (also known as Juru Forest or Great Forest) is a densely forested area that covers the center of Teel in great measure. Since the climate zones in Teel are relatively narrow, the forest offers different habitat types for a great variety of species. There are also at least 22 independent Juru settlements and houses spread across the wilderness of the Juru Forest.    

1. Etymology

Juru originally meant life or existence in the old language of the natives. Since the Forest of Juru provides everything the houses need to survive, the name functions as a reminder to worship and to protect the wonders of nature. The Undying adapted the term to create a common identity for their ethnical group after the Stranding took place and the Settlers were integrated into the society.    

2. Geography

  The V-shaped forest covers more than 60 % of the whole peninsula and extends from coast to coast at its broadest point in the North. Several habitat types can be found in the green depth of the densely wooded area:   2.1 Northern Juru Forest
The conifer forest in the North is the greatest and darkest area of the woods, with just a few isolated houses and settlements hidden in the rocky hills. The whole terrain is streaked by thousands of stairways that must have been chiseled into the ground. It remains unclear what those stairways were for and who may had made them, for they could not be assigned to the history of any known Juru tribe.     2.2 Central Juru Forest
All the greater teelean settlements are located nearby the Juru broadleaf forest. The western side is mostly cultivated by the citizens of the Free City of Teel, while the East is home to the two greatest Juru settlements Alkor and Mizar and to several smaller houses and villages.     2.3 Southern Juru Forest
The subtropical climate in the southern area of the Great Juru Forest is similar to the moist weather in the Black March, although there is no monsoon season and the air is dryer on the Juru side of the Mofta Grasslands. Rainwater from the North and from the South flows into the mangrove-covered lowland plain, providing thousands of slow and muggy flows and rivers with water, which eventually run into the silent Ishi Lake.
