Endless Deep - wip

What is it?

The endless deep is a tale to scare naughty children, a punishment for the worst offenders, and the source of glory for the brave and powerful. It is the dark mass of trees that is constantly encroaching on all sides of each continent on Arboris.

Rather than ocean, the world has been swallowed in forest. If you venture out into it, you’ll find it gets increasingly deep, dark, and dangerous. The farther from land you get, the harder it is for sunlight to penetrate to the forest floor, the more monsters you’ll run into, and the danger compounds. It’s a whole other world, practically unexplored and uncharted.

Traveling through the Deep between continents is doable, the forest is almost manageable. If enough men and Spheres - wip get thrown at them, the chaos can be controlled to a great enough extent. Warlord - wips are trying to construct Lowroad - wips through the forest. These will expedite shipping and traveling since more wagons can travel in a caravan on a lowroad than on a Highroad - wip.
