The Meadow

The Meadow is one of the the strangest places in the Echo Realm. Where most places outside of the Lamps located in the cities are dark, the Meadow is lit by a magical light who's source is unseen. The Meadow is full of flowers and what few insects exist in the Echo Realm.
However it's not exactly a hostile place. While the first few miles are hospitable,the Tunnel Guardian that dwells there will stop you from continuing past her form. If you do not heed her warning, she's been known to use force. However there are ways around her and those that have seen beyond her say the meadow becomes twisted, evil.
Insects become hostile, larger in size. The flowers have an eerie glow but draw you in. The light fades but doesn't disappear. The further in you go, the more twisted and warped the world becomes. At least, that's how the one person that dared to ignore the Guardian puts it. He says he saw a structure, its spires seeming to reach the Roof, pointed and ominous before he lost consciousness and awoke at the feet of the Guardian.
She will not explain if questioned, she will only warn you to turn back lest she be forced to make you.

Geography

The entrance to the Meadow is wide, opening up from a relatively narrow Tunnel into a brightly lit cavern. In the distance you can see the cavern walls lead to an opening. This opening is blocked by the Tunnel Guardian known as Muriel. Beyond that opening is another Tunnel which leads to an almost exact replica of the one before, but unfathomably wider.

Fauna & Flora

Flowers and trees of all shapes and sizes and colors. Insects such as beetles, gnats, butterflies, moths. Occasionally you'll find bats or a bird but animals are usually kept in cities.
