The Starlit forest

Where starlight glimmers not from the sky but from the forest itself

There is the story of The Nation before it was born. When the before times were starting to end. A forest grew strong and alive. It grew strong and powerful. The roots of the forest grew deep and interwoven with the nation itself. And from their power the evils of this world hid. They buried themselves deep, deep underground or fled to the endless sea.   The forest faded away. But it's said if someone ever found it, the forest would bestow powers normally meant for the Beau Mont Light.

The tree pulse with starlight, as if the light was the sap flowing though it. Ever leaf on every tree is edged in moonlight. Gently glowing gold, silver, or light. The leaves them are glittering diamonds. A with no beginning or ending runs through it, its water a deep purple, lights from the forest reflecting off of it.   They say the people living in the forest are the spirits of long departed Lights. If you are so lucky to wander into the forest, they will make you into them, and send you to Perfection.
