Lore:
The Sylvan Woods are a vast jungle home to an immense diversity of plant and animal species, and is the host of the largest sub-kingdom of the Jewel Kingdom. The region generally hosts a warm, tropical climate with frequent rains spawned by the Woods itself, a process that provides the immense Evangelion River with water. Along with wildlife, it is home to nature entities like shamans, naturemancers and Nymphs, even the Nature Elementals, who used to roam a lot in these parts. These lands also host one of the ancient guardians blessed by the Avatar of Nature, who is sworn to protect this forest to the end.

Over the course of this region's lifespan, it has hosted 3 of the Eternal Forests of Seasons, recently hosting the Eternal Forest of Autumn, that created an exquisite region that is completely affected by the season of Autumn in all conditions.

But this region's peace and prosperity is now in danger, with the infestation of Piranha Plants being the most absolute in these parts. But the infestation is only limited here, as this region's protection preserved by the Mana of Nature reduces the infestation's intensities outside, and even some areas within this region are not affected completely. There's still hope, and it can be boosted up...
