| Hello, hopefully no one will go messing with my information, I am Jessalyn on the server, and am a deep repository of the Old Lore and New Lore alike. I will be contributing as much as I can in transcription and creation, particularly for those areas and NPCs that I have particular involvement with.

| |
| | |
| The Verdant Caverns are a large expanse of land controlled by the Verdant Hive, a vespid monarchy currently ruled by Queen Katiana, and aided by her sisters, having replaced the former queen Melora when she abdicated the throne to leave Paradisium.
| |
| | |
| == Notable Locations ==
| |
| The Verdant Caverns is a large, sprawling area that is made up of smaller, notable areas, some of which are wild, others given over to rule to vassals as long as they follow the rules of the Hive.

| The Isle of Avalon is located in the center of four convergent areas, being the crossroads between the Wild Gardens, Sirens Grotto, Twilight Groves, and Haunted Hollows.
| |
| | |
| The Wild Gardens and Twilight Groves border each other, and dot into each other depending on the crystals provided, both also border the Sirens Grotto as the rivers and lakes move down to the seas beyond.
| |
| | |
| The Wild Gardens is known to fade into the Haunted Hollows on in some areas, the trees dark and twisted under the growing influence of the Haunted Hollows. The border is monitored and protected.
| |
| | |
| The Sirens Grotto is part of the shorelines to the Bending Seas, if one follows the coast far enough, they can come across Smugglers Cove. Along the shoreline, a cave system has been carved out, providing access to the Steppe Fjord. On a smaller section of coast, almost completely enveloped in the jungle of the Wild Gardens is the Mermaid Cove Resort.
| |
| | |
| Honeydew Valley is has a few connections to various Kobold Dens, which provides border raids on food and for sexual conquest and a sharp cliff can theoretically be climbed to reach the Wild Gardens, the cliff is home to some variants of birds and aaroka tribes, and is not an actual suitable method of travel for those who cannot fly. Finally, a stone bridge crosses a ravine to be able to transport goods to the Market Town.

| = Wild Gardens =
| |
| | |
| The Wild Gardens is the green areas of the Verdant Caverns that grow under the presence of the Sun Crystals, the most common version is dense jungles, but there are thinner patches of forests and the rare clearing or special grove. While large caverns are much more common in this area, there are interconnected tunnels and smaller caverns as well, as well as some unusual features. While it can be dangerous to the unwary traveler, it is fairly safe overall, particularly with the Vespids being willing to aid travelers.

| === Giant Stump Settlement ===
| |
| Breaking through a dense part of the jungle, explorers might find themselves in an area that has been cut down, a giant stump is centered among many other stumps providing a clearing with places to sit, the cutting seeming to have happened many years ago, yet the stumps do not show indication of rot. A fence surrounds the area, and various silks and webbing can be seen indicating presence. Women tend to small gardens and chores outside, under the protection of a matriarchal woman who calls herself Sakura. Inside the stump itself is a carved out settlement which offers shelter for those under her protection.
| |
| | |
| ===Tower of Life===
| |
| The name Tower of Life is given to a massive vine that runs miles between the ceiling and the ground of the cavern it is in, other vines growing from above and below wrapping around the core vine. It protects itself with an extreme aphrodisiac that is excreted from the vines, which further attracts other life forms that protect it. When close enough the sound of liquid running through the vines can be heard, but if it is the same fluid that is running through the vines is yet to be known nor where it goes external to the cavern it is in.
