Sweetwood

Sweetwood is the name of the southern rainforest and savannah of Wester Varzzen. The area is famous for its colorful, oily trees. The oil can be used to make paints, while the wood is both a watertight construction material and an excellent fuel.

The southern and eastern parts of Sweetwood are hotter and wetter. Mighty, untamed rainforests grow there. The area has some roads and inhabitants, but all villages there are minuscule.

The northern and eastern parts of Sweetwood are comparatively cooler and dryer. They are covered in savannah and farmland. Necrites have lived there since time immemorial. A significant reason for this is the trees: necrites find them both tasty and healthy. Some of the farms are dedicated to growing more of those trees.

The savannah contains most of the oldest necrite cities, including the ancient capital of the Detrinian Empire, Throne of Power. Roads and tunnels allow a traveler to easily travel between the cities. There are few places one can't find signs of civilization.

While the border of Sweetwood and Salt Coast was unclear for the longest time, it was defined after the Tunnel War. The new nation, Aciaroma, would get Sweetwood, while the Detrinian Empire must be content with Salt Coast. Thanks to this, the border between Sweetwood and Salt Coast is now more political than geographic.

Lately, the very eastern edge of Sweetwood has become even wetter than usual, to the point that the area is more of a marsh than rainforest. This is thanks to the dark rituals Theocracy of the Wurm conducts to expand their area. Should they continue, all of Sweetwood could one day be turned into a big marsh.
