The High Forest

A vast, wild expanse where ancient fruit trees twist into gnarled forms, their branches laden with colorful, toxic fruits. This once-manicured orchard is now a dense woodland, the ground carpeted with decomposing leaves and fruit, nurturing a rich, dark soil. Amidst this fertile earth, a diverse undergrowth of medicinal and poisonous plants thrives, alongside giant insects, striges, fey, and monstrous entities that roam freely, drawn by the fruits' allure. Dryads, born from these very trees, guard the grove with ethereal grace, camouflaged by bark and leaves, their presence subtly marked by rustling foliage and fleeting fragrances. These guardians weave illusions to protect their domain, maintaining a delicate balance in this mystical ecosystem. Sunlight pierces the thick canopy, casting ever-changing patterns on the forest floor. The grove, resonating with the rhythm of life and death, presents a picturesque yet perilous landscape, a stark reminder of nature’s raw power and mystery.

Lush orchard filled with ancient fruit trees, their heavy branches sagging with wild fruits. The ground is covered in fallen produce, and the air carries a sweet scent of decay. Wild creatures have made their homes among the twisted boughs.
