Lore
A vast underground jungle nestled deep within the Sylvan Highlands, this boasts a huge variety of plants and animals fed by mana rather than sunlight. This is where many people have set up shop in order to produce honey from the bees that feed of the blooms of the underground flora. Cool, stable conditions with high humidity fostered one of the world's most productive underground forests.

But now the negative effects of a certain Star Prism caused the jungle's flora to become overgrown with weeds, brambles and Piranha Plants. Along with that, a family of Zingers has built a huge hive and are taking out the native bees and insects to feed their larvae.
