Rifenmist Jungle

The Rifenmist Jungle is a vast jungle covering Rifenmist Peninsula, the southern region of Tal'Dorei.

Description
The Rifenmist Jungle is an endless mass of natural chaos. The floor is covered in vines and clustered with wide-trunked trees, spiny ferns, and carnivorous plants. The land is hot and humid, pocked with valleys that lead to marshland and quicksand pits, and some regions are afflicted with a spreading fungus. The jungle becomes denser the further south one travels.

History
The Rifenmist Jungle is poorly mapped by travelers from the northern regions of Tal'Dorei, and few travelers that enter the jungle return. Attempts have been made by humans and elves of northern Tal'Dorei to colonize the jungle, but they were quickly rebuffed by the elves of the Orroyen Tribes, having sent the clear message that no cities are to be built south of the jungle's edge.

The people of the free folk of the Mornset Countryside are superstitious about the jungle, and few enter it except to parlay with the Orroyen. The hobgoblins of the Iron Authority in the Beynsfal Plateau have been at war with the jungle itself for years, but have made little ground against the land.
