Blood Jungle

The Blood Jungle is a vast area, roughly five million square miles, in the center of the continent. After a short desert shadow region east of the Bilokko, the region is very rainy. Storms pass through at least once a day during the rainy season, and no less than twice a week during the dry one. This has allowed the lush jungle to grow.

The best way to travel this overgrown terrain is via riverboat. Travellers are advised to pack all their own provisions: not only is hunting off the river very dangerous, but it is more likely the wildlife will hunt back. The river also affords an easy escape: one can simply find a passing log and slowly ride it to the ocean (assuming the piranha don't eat you first).

The area is known to have all sorts of wildlife, both mundane and fantastic. Surviving adventurers have told tales of giant apes, carnivorous plants, vampire bats, and even green dragons. They have also told of tribes of various humanoids living in pockets. Feral cousins of the river gnomes live along riverbanks; peaceful firbolgs apparently live in the southern tier. Bugbears, goblins, and other, nastier tribes live here as well.

The Highspire is a tall mountain peak smack-dab in the middle of the jungle. It is clearly visible from any elevation within the Bilokko, its peak reaching into the very clouds themselves. No one has ever explored the Highspire area and lived to tell the tale.
