Thinwood Forest

The Thinwood Forest is called after the one tree type that inhabits it - thinwood. Some say it was more varied once, but long ago a fire destroyed most of the forest many years ago, and the thinwoods were the only ones to regrow from the ashes.

The forest ground is completely hidden by roots and fallen leaves. Therefore, most ground plants are types of tall grass that can find their way through the dense cover of roots to sunlight.

Funnily enough, thinwoods aren't called this way for being thin themselves, but for being thinly spread from each other. Because of this combined the fact that thinwoods aren't very tall means the sky is always visible on Thinwood Forest's floor.

The forest occupies a land so massive, that villages and towns built in it are often completely ignorant of each other's existence. Therefore, no maps are drawn and the forest around them is nameless by them, and is instead referred to as "the forest" or "the woods" - it's the only forest they know.
