Arachnea's Revenge


As with The Dampwoods, this swath of forest consists of coniferous and deciduous trees, though the conifers outnumber the woody trees. Arachnea's unique feature is the southerly lake: the waters are an unearthly blue, sharp clarity allowing onlookers to peer to the very bottom. Tiny stones make up the coast of the lake, and the fishing is always excellent, evinced by the eagles and ospreys roosting around the lake's perimeter. In northern Arachnea's revenge, the coast is rocky, though the narrowness of the bay allows one to see the far shore on clear days. Arachnea's Revenge gets its name from the large spider populations: many species make their home in the woods.



The Sugarwoods


Prior to the rise of the Luperci, humans made use of this sugar maple forest. The Sugarwoods, as they called them, are a densely stand of syrup-producing trees; the sap of these trees was processed into maple syrup. Though the humans are gone, the tools of their activity remain. The sugar houses used for the processing still stand in various states of disrepair; some trees still bear the taps used to drain them of sap. In autumn, this copse is especially wondrous; all the sugar-maple leaves turn to fire-red, and the forest seems made of flame.
