Dense forest that seems to change more than usual over time. Mapping efforts have met with change.
The Great Pollen Wars continue to this day. The wars are caused by trees, now sentient, to carry out grudges from when they were mere plants. The tomb meteor caused an arcane storm, which inspired the forest halflings to create rituals to make the trees sentient. These sentient trees are now known as Dreamers of the Maw.
The trees of the Maw are extremely tall, and there are various sub layers within it. In the forest there are also giant bugs, including 10 foot long centipedes, and dragonflies with 6 foot wingspans.
The forest is intentionally cultivated by the forest halflings, who foster mushrooms, fruits, and insect hives, and live in settlements around these food rich areas.
+ Forest halfling ethnic groups were historically defined by their alliances in the war. Outriders, Oaks, AntiOaks, etc. Forest Halflings evolved large eyes to see in the murky forest. Their hands and feet are equally dexterous.
Biomes
The Abyssal Layer
Terrible luring monsters live in the sunless depths. Largely uninhabited except for expeditions.
Twilight Layer
In some areas the trees are so thick that rivers flow through the middle layers among the branches some 40 feet above the ground.
Canopy
Most inhabited zone, filled with sunlight. Tree houses.
The Crown
Very high up yo! Direct light, birds.
