Shadeout Mapes

"'It's almost like we're underwater, but breathing perfectly fine. I can feel something else is here with us, though I know it wouldn't hurt a fly.'" - Taereyes Sliver's first notebook mentioning the Shadeout Mapes

The Shadeout Mapes is a roofed forest in the Deep Dark*, commonly known for its magical blueish hue. It was first discovered by Taereyes Sliver* during a hunting trip for Fawnhi*. Taereyes reported that the Shadeout Mapes had an "otherworldly aura" and that he could "hear angels singing in the shadows."

Only spanning roughly 12 acres, the Shadeout Mapes consist of thick-rooted trees that block out the sky with their tightly-packed "roof-like" leaves. This odd lighting plays a trick on the eyes of the common man, making it seem as though a blue mist is rolling in the distance, while shadows overtake the rest of the forest. It's easy to get lost in the Shadeout Mapes during the nighttime, especially when the fog rolls in, but during the daytime it's nearly harmless!

Average wildlife lives in the Shadeout Mapes, like squirrels, foxes and other such, but only two known magical creatures have been spotted: Fawnhi* and Salamaenders*. However, there have been considerably less sightings of these creatures in recent years due to lack of visits to the Shadeout Mapes*.
