The Yokmir Forest

Basic Information
''Out of all the secluded locations on Norad, none is more lush than the forests of the world, and '' ''Yokmir Forest, located on the eastern edge of the Selphian Plateau, is no different. Housing a myriad of lifeforms, from Runic creatures to life forms that found their way to Norad from other worlds, the Forest of Yokmir is vast, stretching for untold miles, from the foot of the Karnak Mountain Range, all the way to the lapping waters of the eastern ocean. Within Yokmir lies a variety of secrets, some known to the world, some not. ''

''In the South-West of the main body lies a massive sinkhole, the result of a battle between alien invaders, and Selphian defenders. It should be noted that Yokmir is geologically unstable, as hundreds, if not thousands of caves lurk beneath the surface. While not along a fault line, the regular chaos from various parties battling within Yokmir can often result in minor craters forming, or even full blown sinkholes. While only one exists, there’s potential for more. ''

''In addition, a clearing somewhere in Yokmir, its exact location unknown, houses a strange obelisk, which reaches towards the heavens. While the writing upon it is weathered from the elements, it marks a memorial, and once the resting place of the sole person to die aboard the Death Egg Mark Nine. And beneath the surface of Yokmir, in a secure system of caverns, a cathedral type space exists, that houses the original body of the former Dragoon Queen, Hope Selphia, once buried on the surface when on Mobius. Relocated due to the events when the Heartlands returned to Norad, it is a grim reminder to that fateful day. ''

''Furthermore, various beings connected to life and nature make their homes within Yokmir, and one can find them if they look hard enough. And of course, Ventuswill has her home, the so-called Temple of Winds, which is located in the northern areas of the Forest. How big that is remains unknown. It should also be noted that Yokmir holds a connection to the Forest of Beginnings, as the area is a hotspot for Runemons to emerge from the Forest of Beginnings and into the realm. Why has never been made expressly clear. At the end of the day, Yokmir is a place of peace, managing to remain the same, despite the constant conflicts going on both inside and outside of its leafy walls. May it always remain so…''
