[font=georgia][size=5]The Black Water Veins are beautiful and terrible in a way that is not entirely natural. This verdant wetland is a wellspring of life, propagating both flora and fauna alike, and doing so at an impossible rate. The beasts that call it home are unnervingly beautiful - shimmering, glorious creatures of unnatural size, or speed, or strength. Indeed, this seems like a place that has been uniquely touched by the hand of nature, granting those within all her boons, no matter how terrifying the consequences.
Three places have been mapped within the Veins. The outer edge is the Tributary, where sparkling clear water runs inland, creating rivulets and pools full of shimmering flora and fauna. While one might think that this place, with its beauty, is the safest place within the Veins, you must take care nonetheless. It would not do to discover where the beauty of the beasts in the water ends, and their true nature begins.
Inlands, water and muck give way to the Timber, where towering trees create soft shadows and dappled light. The beasts here move in secret and sun alike, though each one boasts either enormous size or terrible speed. Even those that seem unthreatening - herbivores, or prey creatures, or otherwise natural pacifists - pose a danger by their sheer unnatural power. It seems they do not know that their might is unusual. It would not benefit you to find yourself, by mistake or otherwise, on the other end of it.
At the center of the Timber is a dark, black shadow that spreads out almost as a physical wall. This is the Deep Woods, and it is the beating heart of all that is otherwordly within the Veins. Entering this place is stepping into something altogether incomprehensible. The air is thick and charged, and moving through it feels more like swimming than striding. The creatures that move through here are luminescent, glowing with terrifying power. They do not regard you, usually - they do not even see you. You are aware, all too well, that you are nothing more than an insect in this place. You worry that if one were to set its gaze on you, the fear alone would be your final blow.[/size]

[center][font=georgia][size=5]There are places where the clear waters of the Tributary runs muddy as they splash up against the shore. When you look carefully, you can see slender bodies writhing, twisting and turning beneath the mud and murk. It seems that these eels wait at the shoreline for an unsuspecting creature to venture too close, then sink their fangs into the unlucky victim and drag them in. You know, really, what happens after that.[/center][img]https://i.imgur.com/6jSBTZL.png[/img]
