The World
The lands consist of an endless cyclopean jungle. Massive trees with trunks that measure miles in width, make up a forest so large that no living being has ever seen the ground, except for a single mountain peak that rises out of jungle. The canopy is a mass of leaves and moss so thick, that rivers and lakes flow through living valleys of greenery.
A single sun blazes in the sky, never setting. Its light feeds the steaming jungle. The only variation is a modulation in intensity from slightly dim red to a blinding bluish white.
Magic and Technology
Magic is common among the denizens of the great forest. Ancient druids weave the flow of lifeforce into spells and enchantments that keeps society running. A special flower is harvested for its crystalline seeds that are the physical manifestation of Mana.
Mechanical technology is only known in the Spire, a single volcanic mountain covered in an industrial city that pours smog and gloom into the surrounds.
Nations
Two nations impose civilization in this part of the world:
Sylvanthea, a nation ruled by druids that bends the forest to its will. Living cities shaped by natural magics rise into the sky. Towers of leaves and wood grown into a great nation that stretches in all directions. The only border is the one it shares with the Spire.
The Spire, a volcanic peak that juts out of the forest canopy north of Sylvanthea. A single city covers the mountain, its factories and foundries belching an ever-flowing smog that obscures the city. Sunlight does not penetrate the smog and leave Spire in an eternal gloom. This suits the rulers of the Spire, a great noble family that rules the city with an iron grip. The long life of the rulers has lead to rumors of vampirism and blood rituals that keep the family young.
Threats
The forest gods have been disappearing. Places of power that generations past have revered as Holy, have gone dark and empty.
