The Living Glass Forest ©

           The Living Glass Forest resides in the southwestern region of Lorenhardt, at the place where The Shining Mountains and the Iron Sentinel Mountains converge.  It is an enchanted realm of wonder that baffles the minds of even the most learned scholars and sages.  Adventurers and explorers from all over Loren venture to glimpse this rare spectacle though the most rare wonder of all is the entombed form of the fairy-queen Zhelandra suspended in all her beauty in the heart of the grandfather tree at the very center of the mystical wood.
      “Upon walking into the ancient woodland, I found myself beset by images most queer to that which would be found amid the other forests of Loren.  The trees, however crystalline, were still consistent with the wood-like traits of their more common brethren, yet shone like glass in the light of the mid-day sun.  Even the leaves, grasses, and weeds of the area bore the same jewel-like appearance, with only the stray rocks from the surrounding mountains which had migrated into the borders of this majestic woodland differing in their stony appearance. “  - Erilius Evandwyr- Sage of the Master Library, Cloud City of Myralon.
