Boards board boards~
Ye Giant Jungle Pit -
Soft moss and clustered ferns give way abruptly to a giant hole in the earth whose depths cannot be ascertained with the sunlight above competing with the boughs of the trees overhead. But if one were to listen closely, they would hear the faint sounds of water. Descending is nigh impossible with rope alone, but brave adventurers will find wide, shallow pools with slick, rocky ridges within. Bioluminescent algae fills these pools, and they glow different colors when disturbed - illuminating a large, cavernous area with a few stubborn fungi. It stretches far beneath the jungle’s floor; who is to say if it may eventually cave in?
Inspiration: Ferngully light up pools, opening kinda like this
Giant Dandelion Field -
Casting large shadows from dizzying height when immature and hosting all manner of animals in their soft, golden tops, the real fun comes when they sprout into their seed tops. Though timing and direction are dependent on the heavy winds that sweep through here, there is no denying the exhilaration to be had if you cling to the seed - large enough for three grown adults to hold onto - to be swept along on a dizzying ride. Just beware of the landing!
Any other giant flora in the field could be fun, or hollow old stems used for housing in the area, maybe really dry and rocky/dusty summers because of no shade from the flower heads?
Island sub board:
Large, lily-pad like plants surround this side of the coast. Incredibly tough, they are nearly impossible to harvest, but as such are great for creating armor. Be careful if you try however, as many ocean predators use the cover to hunt and stalk; feeling the vibrations of birds and adventurers alike through the pads. The bravest of all may use this to their advantage for a plentiful, risky hunt.
Grassy Knoll -
A giant, smooth, grassy hill that could be considered a small mountain sits deceivingly peacefully. There is a singular entrance - and thus a singular exit. Within, ant-like passageways wind about within, making it very easy to get lost. Moist, cold, dirt walls make this area seem oppressively quiet.
