Great Forest

The Great Forest is a part/island of Yurata. It was the centerpiece of the continent before the continent was split up.

Extended Description
The Great Forest still exists today. However, the centerpiece tree is gone. No records of it being destroyed exist however, so conspiracy theorists believe that the Illuminati took the tree or something stupid like that. Around 1.5% of the forest is destroyed, which is a large price to pay considering how giant it is.

History
The Great Forest remained generally untouched until the war with the Taint and Humans. It was prosperous, but had stopped growing due to a shortage of minerals underground. These minerals were slowly being refilled by an unknown (then) cause. It is now known several rifts between several dimensions was refilling the minerals, it just wasn't filling them that fast at that time. It is unknown what history lies behind this, due to the Wolven guarding their ancient secrets jealously. After the Great War, the Order Of The Fox closed the borders into the forest along with the AoY. (Alliance Of Yurata)

Ancient Wolven Lore
According to Wolven religion, Yurata was created by stationary volcanoes, and the Wolven were thrown onto it (basically) by the Kirutasin.

Animals
Generally, most of the animals throughout the Great Forest are unknown. However, from outskirts observation we can determine that deer live in the forest. Also, squirrels seem to live there aswell. It is generally thought that Yurata's Great Forest has great diversity in animals, the same way it does in plants.

Inhabitants
The Great Forest used to be inhabited by the Yurata Wolves and the Order Of The Fox. But the Yurata Wolves split up, so the Alliance Of Yurata has took their place in recent years.
