The Killing Forests
A place called the Killing Forests probably isn’t the first place you’d think of as safe. And cutter, this is the Abyss, so you’re probably right; it’s still not safe. But at least you’re swapping one danger for another. The Killing Forests of Descolada aren’t so much a realm as one of the few places of respite from the swarming insects on the layer of Descolada (that isn’t also haunted by banshee). This is because this part of the layer is one place where Camazotz, the Mayan underworld power of bats and vampires loves to hunt with his swarm. Presumably there’s a convenient portal here or something, because this part of Descolada is more husk than hive. Mountains of insectoid corpses litter the ground here, sucked dry of juices. The Killing Forests are slowly expanding as Camazotz hunts further and wider, and the native vermin swarms learn to avoid the area.
So on the plus side, if you find yourself here, you’ll be free of the vermin for a while. On the flipside though you’ll probably have to fend off swarms of ravenous vampire bats instead, because you’re likely a whole lot tastier to them than a grotty insect. Sounds like a frying pan / fire kind of situation to be honest. Good luck. Or as I said, maybe just don’t go…
