trivia: i may have mentioned this place before but one of the only areas of the midsphel map i know exists for sure is a place called the giants thicket, which is a massive forrest bordering the edges of the central kingdom and relatively close to Wessport where mochi and lime grew up. oscars house borders parts of the thicket and thats where he goes and finds all his weird magic shit

anyway the giants thicket is generally known to be a very unsafe forrest due to it being a place of high concentrations of magic resulting in some pretty weird creatures/forrest spirits/magic beings etc. its eventually discovered by augurie that (surprise surprise!) the witch king is sealed deep underground in the heart of the thicket, and all the high magic concentration is a result of the seal growing weaker and weaker over the years

#anytime you hear of some fucked up sounding creature running around its probably from the giants thicket #the thicket is also considered a haven of sorts. its where many old spirits make their homes #because the central kingdom and surrounding regions agreed to kinda just. not mess with the place #(its a forrest reserve for endangered animal and plant species and the public isnt allowed in) is what they say #worth noting that the dumbasses who wonder in dont make it out so the narrative stays intact #bpp #lore #text #the forrest grows a little more every year #kind of like how the desert spreads and its hard to stop it #except its trees and shit #the central kingdom having to buy land from people and move them out of their homes every few decades when the forrest starts creeping clos
