Danger : Very Low
Population : humans, dryad
A vanishing land that didn't... vanish.
The once proud and majestic mountain that stood here switched place with a piece of land from another world : a massive granite bowl filled with the gentle plains of a flourishing farmland. It has over time been absorbed into Felarya. However it remains oddly separate due to its placement between the mountains and the great swamps ( much more to the east of the map ). It's home to many humans and notably a dryad named Cypress.
The place is very serene and peaceful. It's one of the rare safe heavens in Felarya where you run no risk of being eaten.
The zone
The border of the Bowl can be said to be its brim, however the zone it makes is larger. the mountain labyrinths to the north have been abandoned by the Harpies that once claimed them and Misty Mire (Kahla's zone) has no strict line that either side follows. This gives the human "runners" a lot of leeway when they go on a 'run'.
The People
The people of the bowl are an odd bunch. Mostly comprised of humans, the Bowl is by no means however, a human only type of place. Most people of a small size would find this place to be an odd haven from the harsh realty's of Felarya; and is treasured by its occupants. They will defend it with fierce strength and technology. They are also all linked to Cypress, making any attack on one an attack on all, and will be met with deadly force.
The Bowl is well armed with advanced Technology and installations despite its outward agrarian and naturalist appearance. They keep them hidden but all around the People of the Bowl are a solid force to be reckoned with; however because of their location and passive tendency's the Bowl remains relatively unknown to most of Felarya.
Flora
Plant life in the bowl is varied but planed. Visitors will often note how with frightening regularity the forest gets older the further in you go. planed and executed with great effort, the bowl was planted and cared for by Cypress and the Humans of the Bowl over many centuries. trees are specialized and grew hollow, and their major branches connect creating living branch-ways in the canopy. these are used for transport and in some of the larger older trees as homes.
The forest also has a great verity of vine life and succulent fruit plants. Some from the Bowl's original world and some from Felarya. The vines are all controlled by Cypressand are used by her for multiple purposes, ranging from catching prey to hugging her friends.
The ring of fields between the tree line and the rim, has a wheat like plant that grows there. the people of the Bowl harvest this twice a year and do so for three years in a row. on the fourth the fields are held farrow. On the fifth the grain is planted however it is not harvested. instead the strange plant known as a Moon Lilly will bloom in the fields on a specific night. Moon Lillies are found no where else on or off of Felarya, their origins are a matter of great debate, however what remains uncontested are there dumbfounding beauty.
The people of the bowl harvest these Moon Lillies as a type of lantern for the branch-ways by grafting them into the living trees after a ritual know as the Full bloom moon. a description of this ritual can be found here [1]
