Quoraska Jungle

The Quoraska Jungle is vast, leafy expanse of jungle stretching from the southern portion of the Ashkeeper Peaks to the sea and to the fields and dwellings on the outskirts of Nicodranas.

Description
The Quoraska Jungle is a dense, dangerous jungle near Nicodranas. In addition to typical jungle birds, insects, and wildlife, it is home to carnivorous plants and dangerous creatures, as well as isolated communities of tabaxi and Ki'Nau people.

The canopy of jungle is exceptionally thick, and the paths covered in various vines. The trees are reminiscent of banyan trees, and there are many colorful flowers, some of which may be poisonous. In places there is a smell of decaying citrus fruits and other rot, and unusually colored fungus can be found on some of the tree trunks.

Background
An ancient city known as Obarra once stood within the jungle during the Age of Arcanum. It vanished, likely during the Calamity. As of 835 PD, the recent discovery of writings from Obarra had spurred new interest in the jungle.

Campaign 2: The Mighty Nein
The Mighty Nein asked Essek Thelyss to teleport them to the Whitedawn Lagoon, which is located within the Quoraska Jungle, and he was able to get them to an area of the jungle within a day's journey of the Lagoon.. The trip through the jungle was not without incident: Fjord fell into a mantrap and Artagan revealed his true nature to Jester. The party then came upon a group of bladerakes, insectoid creatures who entrapped their prey in waxy mounds, and fought them off, before finally reaching the oasis.

Behind the scenes
The transcripts for Campaign 2 sometimes spell the name as "Cuarasca".
