Forest of Ash
The Forest of Ash is a section of the the Great Jungle of Lustria towards the north of Isthmus of Lustria, so named because this location in near several active volcano.
Ecosystem Cycles
This region has the normal seasons regularly seen in Lustria, they also have the irregular season of growth, fire, and regrowth seasons from the periodic volcanic eruptions.
Fauna & Flora
The soil is very rich and fertile but the area sees frequent forest fires. The flora here has adapted to burn and regrowth cycles and the local fauna has adapted to be fast and hyper accute to danger so they can move out if there is a danger of fire or any other volcanic fall out.
History
The Forest of Ash was ground zero for the Great Cataclysm. Just because this was the first place Daemons set foot one mortal plane does mean this place is cursed. Ironically, the Forest of Ash was less damaged by the daemon hordes than most of Lustria...they didn't have a whole lot of people to kill or buildings to wreck here, so they didn't stay long.
That, and once the Daemons first entered the mortal plane, here, they began appearing all over the world.
Tourism
The volcanic soil creates some unique plantlife not seen in the rest of Lustria. A few Skinks visit the region to harvest fruits, herbs, and spices not available elsewhere, but other than this, there is little to attract First to the Forest of Ash.
The Forest of Ash is close enough to Hexoatl that the region is still patrolled, but the Lizardmen clash with invaders here, the invaders probably got lost. As far as outsiders know, there really isn't any treasure here to plunder, so non-Lizardmen don't make it a point to come here.
