Danger: Very High to Legendary
Inhabitants:
The "Green Hell", "the Green abyss", "the Death jungle" ( or the "Beautiful, savage, untamed Rainforest of the North" for the Felaryan tourism Guild ) are names given to an enormous zone north of the charted map. This huge land has been only scarcely mapped, as it is both perilous in the extreme and quite confusing. For some strange reasons, using dimensional magic in the Green Hell often leads to unpredictable and potentially disastrous consequences, making the use of portals and gating almost impossible. Thus, very little can be said on this place besides that it's very hostile and that, the more you go up to the North, the more dangerous it seems to become, as absurd as it sounds when you are already familiar with the regions close to the borders.
Not only plenty of giant hybrids such asnagas can be found there, but plenty of monsters that eat them as well. Small creatures like humans find themselves desperately low on the food chain here. Even what passes for herbivores in this place seem to have evolved into bizarre, tough, armored creatures adapted for extreme survival, and more than capable of running into a tank and topple it. Plenty of those so-called herbivores are highly destructive and while they're mainly green eaters, many of them are perfectly capable of processing more tightly-packed energy, which they do at the slightest provocation, for they're extremely aggressive as well.
The Green Hell's landscape changes quite often, due to frequent and strange green forest fires that sweep through the landscape. As a result, many trees have developed some sort of defense against it, and the forest soil possesses a thick layer of rich ash-fortified humus. Further, the dimensional effects create an unique ambient where plants tend to grow much faster than they should, allowing for a staggering rate of renewal after every forest fire.
The brutality of the land seems to come from the ground up here, and trees are amongst the victims of the hungry herbivores- or what passes for an herbivore in this place.

native predators
the area north of the dimensional unstability spike at Deeper Felarya. The dimensional unstability manifests differently here, with the consequence that using dimensional magic in it becomes somewhat difficult, if not outright pointless for the least persistent.
Despite its fecundity, large patches of the Green Hell are and stay clean of any trees for months. When it isn't forest fires, there's creatures that bring them down. It's only the swift rate of renewal that allows for a consistently forested zone. Where the trees are cleared, water tends to promptly gather, pool, and then swiftly stagnate, to the benefit of numerous varieties of insects and fungi. Even the trees seem to exude a greenish vapor that extends far above the canopy, coloring the lower clouds and giving this land its name.
Plenty of the so-called herbivores are highly destructive to any trees unfortunate enough to be in their path- and while they're mainly green eaters, many of them are perfectly capable of processing more tightly-packed energy, which they do at the slightest provocation, for they're extremely aggressive as well. The creatures that prey on them know the risk better than anyone- and they're prepared to take risks on anything else as well.
