Forest of Nauleverer

The Forest of Nauleverer is a dangerous, nearly impenetrable location in Corambis, between Bernatha and Esmer. It houses the Automaton of Corybant, which is later magically defeated by Felix Harrowgate.
== Description ==
Depicted in maps as a large, black blot, the Convocate has forbidden populations of more than fifty people to live there, as many of them die and are killed or absorbed by the forest. There are small villages around the outskirts, but no one lives in Nauleverer Deep. Those along the outskirts talk of horrid deaths of those who are led astray, along with Knockens that live nearby and lurk in the Wildar River and eat people.
Villagers describe the existence of wolfmen in the forest's heart, and talk of streams with beautiful, clear water that are fatal to drink. Nightshade grows in unusual abundance throughout the forest. Will-o'-the-wisps tempt unwary travellers, and trees are said to absorb people who sleep in the forest straight into the ground.
Until Felix Harrowgate kills the Automaton of Corybant there, the Automaton itself is considered an educational myth about the dangers of machines.
It takes six hours to transit through the Forest of Nauleverer on the train. During that time, no sky can be seen, and lamps come on to combat the incredible darkness of the forest.
== History ==
The Forest of Nauleverer was created when the Automaton of Corybant destroyed the entire population of a Cymellune city - Corybant - living there. The city was considered the place of the first Corambin king. The subsequent noirance and mikkary created a corrupted, monstrous forest that kept nearly everyone out of it.
For a long time the construction of roads was strictly prohibited, until the Corambin Railway Company persuaded the Convocation of the Fifth of the One Hundred and Forty Second to run a line through, from Skimfair to Follenfant. It was a controversial move, but the train line remains the most direct path from the south to the north of Corambis, assisting trade from the southern coasts and helping goods and people to reach the major city of Esmer.
