Biology
Evergreens, oaks, acorns and sturdy bamboo cover the landscape. Each season, spectacular bursts of color create a painting-perfect, ideal view that leaves the senses stunned and reeling. The misty rains and the distant thunder of spring blend with the light greens of the forest, while the wild summer sun turns the wood into an endless cathedral of cascading light. The autumn clouds mirror the yellows and reds of dying leaves, while a white winter snow could blanket the evergreens in a shimmering carpet.
Geography
Sanzhou Grove is a mountainous, forested land, 80 miles in diameter.
Authority
Each hamlet has an autonomous system of government, administered by either an elder chief or a cleric. Although each settlement has a formidable night watch, security is tight especially at nighttime.
There is one grim, unifying law common to all who live in Sanzhou Grove, the law that allows human settlements to live within the forest; the Pact of Zhi Yang: for every tree cut and for every bush uprooted, three human lives must pay.
Language & Culture
The folk of Sanzhou prefer to live simple lives; common industries include agriculture, tea cultivation and homemade art. Their livelihoods are completely dependent on the forest around them; the irony is that the forest itself is the cause of their fears and miseries. Although they openly welcome visitors into their small homes, the native folk never speak freely of Sanzhou Grove's true nature for fear of attracting the vicious fey-folk that inhabit the forest.
