Maguuma Jungle

The Maguuma Jungle is a vast jungle boarding to the west of the Bloodtide Coast.

Description
The Maguuma Jungle is a region on the continent of Janthir, encompassing the western half of the continent. The jungle remains untamed by the denizens of the Verdant Fields or the city-states of the Bloodtide Coast.

Hylek Encampment
A group of 20 or so hylek (a frog race native to the jungle) live about 3 miles northwest of Toadmire. They are led by their chieftain T'lacela and their speaker Kaxan. They worship the sun (not necessarily Pelor, despite being the god of the sun) and carve many idols to honor it. The party returned a stolen relic of theirs. Last time they spoke, they said that in a couple of weeks there were to travel into the jungle on an annual pilgrimage. Kaxan is the only hylek of the group that speaks Common.

Vuelothar
Vuelothar is a flying collection of rocks that aarakocra and cloud giants call their home. This region has wild magic lay-lines that hold the massive rocks afloat. Port Dantos has a trade relationship with them.

Environment
The environment in the jungle is very extreme. High heats and humidity can cause fatigue. Heavy rainfall happens over this land as well. The jungle consists mainly of tall trees covered with vines, moss and ferns. The floor of the jungle is difficult to traverse the deeper you get in. Some patches of jungle are filled with giant mushrooms that release poisonous toxins, but others are edible. Many rivers flow through the jungle as well as some deep ravines.

Society
Some species that live closer to the Bloodtide Coast do speak Common (such as the hylek). They will often trade jungle resources for items that are common in cities. The deeper one travels into the jungle, the less likely they'll come across anyone who speaks Common. More often than not, these creatures will be hostile towards any outsiders simpler for having never seen one before.

Known groups living in the jungle include: hylek; stone, hill, and cloud giants; aarakocra; and groups of elves and gnomes. Other creatures include various insects, birds, panthers, and tigers.
