The High Forest

An agricultural center of the city, reclaimed by nature. Once organized into orchards, vegetable fields, and herbal gardens, it now lies obscured beneath a dense canopy of overgrown trees and rampant undergrowth. The structures that once supported cultivation, like tool sheds and greenhouses, are barely recognizable, swallowed by vines and moss. Fruit trees intertwine, bearing a mix of familiar and mutated fruits, a wild tangle of exotic herbs, and vegetable patches sporadically sprout amidst aggressive plants. Navigating this labyrinthine district is arduous due to thick undergrowth and obscured paths, yet the air is rich with the scent of ripening fruits and fresh earth. The area is imbued with a subtle magic that influences plant behaviors, evident in plants that react to human presence with slight movements or intensified scents. Dangerous magical plants like Awakened Shrubs and Shambling Mounds add an element of risk to the lush, secluded environment
