Goldfire Forest

The Goldfire Forest is a deciduous forest that sits adjacent to the Red March on its western boarder and the lush jungles and forests of the Green Spires to its east. The clashing energies of the two zones have created a forest with heavy fire alignment and stunning fauna and flora unique to its ecosystem. The forest is named for its famous Goldfire Trees, which display muti-colored leaves in patches and sections from green to red to a shinning golden hue.
Goldfire Tree: A Deciduous tree found exclusively in the Goldfire Forest of Vailya’s West Spoke. Goldfire trees are famed for their multitude of colors, displaying reds, greens, yellows and shinning golden leaves in various parts of the tree, providing a rainbow of warm, earthy colors. One bough of a tree might have all green leaves, while its neighbor sports vibrant reds, and a different brance grows only orange leaves. The Secret of the Goldfire Tree is that each tree displaying this quality is not one tree, but several. Goldfire trees and their leaves are noted to have a fire alignment, instead of an earth alignment.
Goldfire trees follow a line of succession as they grow. Older trees will drop seeds that take root and form a symbiotic bond with their parent tree, growing into and alongside them and share in the nutrients the parent makes. Each parent will only form a bond with a single sapling. However the sapling will grow and become a parent tree, forming a bond with one of its own seeds. 
This symbiotic bond between the parent and its seeds is what allows the Goldfire Tree to display this wide array of colors and different branches and boughs. As the trees bond together, an exchange of energy takes place between the many Goldfire trees which provokes the oldest tree to absorb and concentrate the excess fire alignment of the younger saplings, giving them a healthier growth cycle. The parent tree becomes affected by the increased concentration of fire-aligned energy, which only grows the more bonds are in the chain of succession.
The high concentration of fire aligned energies within the trees causes them to undergo a change that seems to reflect a perpetual seasonal shift. Deep green leaves will be observed in the youngest of trees, while bright, vibrant leaves will be produced by young parents. Grandparents and Great Grandparent trees will show the yellow and red hues, as if in autumn. All leaves of the tree will fade to brown during colder seasons and fall as would be expected of a deciduous tree. But the following year when the leaves grow back, they will grow in colors that match their host tree, and not start as green.
