The Crying Wood is an Immortal Power. Geographic Region - Within its own boundaries Relative Strength - Moderate Domains: Plant and Death Gifts: TBD It is not an eligible power for PCs (or NPCs for that matter) as it hates all non-plant creatures.
Post Sargrass Crossover, the Crying Wood concentrated its power and has overcome any living creature’s attempts to hide themselves from its notice within its borders. All living creatures have been eradicated from the plateau, with one exception. All former potions, solvents, spells, and magical items various games used to prevent attack by the Wood no longer work, as they are not powerful enough. Again, with one exception.
The exception is the village of Elvenguard. In the Crimson Shields game, the paladin Florin Jadenth sacrificed his mortal body to become the next protective power over the village (via use of a Teucri artifact). Florin had been combating the Crying Wood throughout its whole territory, and could, in places, prevent it from attacking living creatures. Upon the concentration of the Woods, however, Florin found it required all his strength to keep it from destroying Elvenguard. The area surrounding the village is now a constant battleground, as the Crying Wood and Florin, Protector of Elvenguard, unleash their powers against each other.
Some of the flora of the Crying Woods includes: Purple orcs. These are not orcs at all. They are some kind of a plant in humanoid form, spawned by carnivorous trees, and born in pods that hang from the branches. These ‘orclets’ are fast, and able to swarm and overpower much stronger creatures. Their claws seem enchanted, causing those they hit to fall into a deep sleep. When slain, orclets grow with magical speed into trees themselves, as if they were seeds all along.
Other plants include: Vanilla Pods – brown, about 6” long, carrying a beautiful aroma of rich vanilla. Spiny Sunflowers - grow in bog mud (which is, by the way, beneficial to the skin as a softener). These flowers shoot out spines, like arrows, at intruders, usually waiting until they are stuck in the mud. The spines are strong as steel and vary in length.
The Lizard Folk have made a treaty with The Float and now control the outlined area of the forest. They are rebuilding an ancient city they are calling Riverton.
The Beast Folk Village is an ancient pyramid that the Beast Folk of The Float colonized recently.
Cutter is a wood cutting and lumber village set up by Torbin Cook a lumber merchant in The Float.
It'lal is a surface Drow city.
