Querlicetum

Deep within the forest of Folidae sits the Querlicetum. The trees around this small clearing are so thick that one cannot see in or out. The only ways into the circular clearing are from the sky, which can be dangerous if weather conditions are harsh, or if you can manage to find the small C-shaped gap between the trees. The opening is so small that only one horse may fit through at a time. Larger horses will no doubt find the gap difficult to get through. It may seem large enough at first, but the opening shrinks as you pass through, with the middle being the tightest point. Luckily the entrance shouldn't be too hard to find. Most of the Querlicetum is bordered by the Flumen, making the ground around the tree-encased clearing slick with the mist from the rapids. It leaves only about a twelve foot area where the river does not flow. The clearing itself may fit only a dozen small horses at a time. The ground within the ring of trees is dead; the trees having sucked the life from whatever was living there before. However, slimy green moss clings to the trunks of the trees and hands from their branches, making a sticky trap for anyone who gets too close. A small, crystal-like bush sits in the center of the clearing, but its purpose is currently unknown.
