Foglands

"Foglands can be a faster path to your destination, but are more often a faster path to your damnation."
-Beedle Wanderstone

The The Great Vorthali Forest is considered to be a vast, dangerous jungle and foglands are no exception. Wild arcane runs rampant through air, lashing out dispassionately.

Geography

Foglands form in regions of the forest where there is large quantities of water and the temperature is higher, the hot, humid air may come in contact with the cool surface of the water and form dense mist. As the vapor forms, latent arcane energy collects and form arcane fog which may discharge with random effects. Should the discharge result in an increase of vapor, such as through heat generation from a fireball, the latent energy may compound and create an endless cycle of arcane bursts. Although in theory the fog might last forever, in reality it isn't uncommon for a fogland to subside for several days before another hot morning creates more mist, restarting the cycle.
As arcane fog typically forms over wetlands and swamps, they are usually easily avoided due to the necessity of finding better ground to travel on. However, one of the largest foglands, the Chaotom Stretch, spans across several wet areas around 250 miles north of Leores, reaching across the Biecun River, the main route to reach Vora. The arcane fog is dispersed by wind near the river where there is a lack of trees but on a calm day, the fog may collect and make the route to hazardous to travel.

Fauna & Flora

While many creatures and plants don't survive the chaos of foglands for long, some seem to have adapted to a rapidly changing environment. Research indicates that these organisms usually have some arcane resistance, such as Giant Water Lilies, which seem generally unaffected by various arcane bursts.
