The Mossbloom Forest sits in a quiet corner of northeastern Neonia called Lilyford away from the bustle in the center near the capital, and the west with all of their ports. It's a wild area with ancient forests, crisscrossed with rivers and dotted by oxbow lakes.
Magic in Lilyford trends towards the elemental; the people are formed by the nature here, not the other way around. Towns are small but hardy, with the largest being Hartwood at 15,000 people. Pass by on a market day, and you'll see fairy eggplants the size of your arm!
Of the wild valleys in Lilyford, the Mossbloom Forest is the wildest. Those who live near the forest often live on the outskirts, and there is no sign of permanent settlement beyond the tree line. Adventurers passing through have described the Mossbloom Forest as "alien, but amiable."
While isolation has given the Mossbloom Forest a diverse biome, dangers are few if you stick to preexisting paths and bridges. These paths are well-tended by hikers, foragers, and adventurers. Locals have published guides to fruits and fungi in the forest that are safe to eat, and these are readily available in stores and libraries.
At the heart of the Mossbloom Forest sits a massive tree; believed to be the tree from which the entire forest spawns. There are no paths that lead to this tree; if there were, they have been long covered in vines and thorns. The entire forest will band together to protect this tree, and loggers have gone into the Mossbloom never to return.
