Amber Forest (info)

[break][break]

For centuries the people believed that amber forest, with its autumn colored leaves, was a magical place; a forest cursed or blessed by pixies to be in a melancholy state for eternity. However, due to research and expeditions around ten years ago, scientists have discovered that it wasn't magic that gave the leaves the red and orange colors but instead, a rare mineral that resides in the forest ground.[break][break]

Because of that revelation, the forest became a place frequently visited by travellers just so that they could lay their eyes on the serenity and beauty of the forest. In fact, it got visited so much that in the last ten years, a small outpost had grown in front of it. Though not enough that it could be considered a village, it's ideal for a tavern and a shop or two to make their living.
