THE DEAD WOOD

If one manages to get across the marshes, the next land in Kavelor is the Dead Wood, otherwise known for its dense population of dead trees. For reasons unknown, the wood catches fire quite often - at least every two to three years. Though the Dead Wood does, in fact, have live trees, there are sections that are strictly dead standing trees. New life does eventually grow - and quite quickly due to the rich soil here. However, the fires keep life here generally low, and while dead trees are replaced with living ones, fires are also killing living sections of the wood to keep a relatively equal balance.
