An expansive | An expansive forest spans Ulangi's southern half. It is home to a variety of wildlife, as well as the reclusive [[Serach]] and the forest [[liches|lich]] [[Melkhiour]]. The treeline extends upward onto the cliffs of the isle's extinct volcano, creating a misty cloud forest which is so steep, it may be only be reached by trekking through the mountains. Animals that have made their homes here include [[deer]] like the elusive [[King Stag]], [[bobcats]], [[pheasants]], [[hummingbirds]], and [[badgers]]. Many species of trees constitute this forest, mostly evergreen but with some deciduous, and include maple, oak, pine, fir, cedar, dogwood, and Lachesian spiderflower. The Ulangi forest was presided over by the forest spirit [[Polyhymnia]] before the return of [[Gaia]] in the seventh century. | ||
