Nestled amidst the untamed beauty of Veargreum, the Severed Wilds, a tropical rainforest, thrive as an awe-inspiring sanctuary. Bound by the enchanting Singing Glade Swamp to the west and the formidable Tormek Mountains to the east, this verdant haven rests to the north of Avarice, the bustling capital city.

Within this lush paradise, the warm, humid climate nurtures a breathtaking diversity of plant life, enchanting the senses with its kaleidoscope of colors and forms. Carnivorous plants, their jaws eagerly awaiting unsuspecting prey, intermingle with a symphony of vibrant and vividly-hued flowers. Broad-leaved evergreen trees reign supreme, their outstretched branches weaving together to form an unbroken, verdant canopy that shields the forest floor from the intensity of sunlight.

The wild inhabitants of the Severed Wilds are as captivating as the flora that surrounds them. Exotic birds, their plumage ablaze with an artist's palette of hues, gracefully navigate the treetops, their melodic calls echoing through the jungle's expanse. Curious Channeler Chimps, primate-plant hybrids bound from branch to branch, their existence blurring the line between flora and fauna. Amongst the upper canopies, slender and agile marsupials known as Scrunches skillfully navigate the labyrinthine network of branches, their presence a testament to the forest's harmonious balance.

Venturing to the forest floor reveals a mystical sight—a spectacle of hoofed ruminant mammals, their antlers crowned with ethereal bubbles that dance and shimmer in the air as they wander. Yet, lurking just beyond the water's edge, insidious pack hunters known as Kithes lie in wait, their amphibious nature allowing them to stealthily stalk their prey. Even amidst the breathtaking beauty, danger lurks, embodied by the Lotus Lurkers, crocodilian predators whose snouts bear the appearance and scent of alluring water plants, luring unsuspecting creatures within striking range.

While the Severed Wilds may appear treacherous to some, it remains a place of habitation for the resilient Cleaons, the primary sentient beings within these jungles. Nestled amidst the heights of ancient trees, their intricate treetop dwellings serve as testaments to their harmonious coexistence with the untamed forest that surrounds them.
