The Nanambra jungle is situated far in the north east, past the Oloonde lakeland. To this day it remains one of the most uncharted region of the whole continent. It's nowhere near as dangerous as the jungle of perils or the Green hell but the extremely thick vegetation make navigation very complex. The vegetation in the Namambra jungle is un-naturally resilient and robust, and many plants are able to regrow in a matter of hours once cleared.
At ground level the vegetation is thick with low trees bearing a very dense foliage, creating a massive and almost un-penetrable ceiling of leaves and branches. It blankets the area in a deep, damp darkness, broken only by some rare and small wells of light managing to find their way through the canopy where it's less dense. In thicker areas, when a violent rainstorm breaks out above the Nanambra jungle, it takes long minutes before the first drops of water manages to reach the ground. On top of that, the mossy and moldy floor is slippery, uneven, with slopes, small cliffs and ravines and the atmosphere is hot and very muggy.
There are many predatory creatures and monsters found in this place, often hiding in wait within the ceiling of leaves and snatching an unexpected prey off the ground at a moment notice. However there are a lot less giant predators roaming around than in many others parts of Felarya, simply because of the lack of space for them to maneuver around. Those who live here tend to be notably smaller than their counterpart in Tolmeshal forest. Achigates are pretty common in this place though. They are essentially harmless herbivores but tales of humans getting unwittingly swallowed because they were hiding in the foliage an achigate was munching on are not unheard of. Exception are the giant preds living above the canopy, harpies for the most part, and fishing the sea of leaves below.
