Level 241

__NOTOC__
==\lfloorDepiction\rceil==
A road lined with autumn trees.
Level 241 is an autumn forest filled with twisting trees and littered with falling leaves and warm sunlight. The level is coated in a semi-thick forest that has autumn red and orange trees splattered across the level in huge swaths. Sunlight will pierce the roof of the canopy and produce solid beams of light on the bare forest floors. The terrain is relatively smooth with the possibility of a hill disrupting the smooth tranquility felt in these forests. The trees dotting the level are said to all be beautiful and make one calm down at the thought of being here.
Temperatures of 68˚ degrees Fahrenheit can be felt throughout the level but the warmth accumulated from the sunlight will warm one's self up before the chill can be felt. One will only feel a chill when wandering through the especially obscured parts of the forest but those parts are particularly rare as the canopy above is not dense. Heat can be felt pulsing through everything; like a heartbeat felt by one's own body.
The level also appears to have small dirt roads winding throughout the forests. These roads or pathways have been reported to be kept in a quite clean manner as there are almost no leaves on these roads and they seem to be smoothed out. The only time one could see leaves on these roads is when they are dancing with wind and they just so happen to fly across these pristine pathways.
After wandering for enough time in a single direction, one may encounter the far reaches of the level. These areas are said to be cliffs or sandy beaches that lead to a milky orange ocean bathing in sunset. It is presumed that the sunlight received at the level depends on one's location. The water here is said to be lukewarm, similar to the water found in Level 37.
==\lfloorPerils\rceil==
As the wind begins to pick up and the leaves begin their dance, the forests themselves pose an inherent danger to all who enter them. One may not expect at first glance for these trees to be any sort of danger whatsoever but they have been known to cause violent and severe burns to all who touch them. Large and severe third-degree burns have been reported by survivors of this level. These leaves only present themselves as a danger when in direct contact with skin and if handled with gloves, they only feel like slightly warmed pieces of paper in one's hands. The issue is simply that the level is usually in a mild gust and leaves will rush up or pour down from their trees and kill wanderers in huge swarms.
At some point, one will begin to find streams winding throughout the level that flow with a mixture of Almond Water and water. These streams seem to not be notably deep nor wide and have been said to be home to algae and small iridescent red trout. Water found in these streams has been said to be more frigid than even the coldest places in the backrooms, instantly killing off any other life that even dared touch it. It is highly advised that one avoid these streams as although they look tempting, they can kill one with the simplest touch.
==\lfloorAmity\rceil==
Fires will occasionally pour throughout the valleys that make up Level 241 and blow through all obstacles in the way. Fire here is simply a feeling; it is not heat nor is it energy but simply just a feeling. It purges all uncertainty and insecurity from the soul and replaces it with warmer feelings, better feelings. Some refer to this fire as a warm feeling, as if someone is hugging one, others refer to it as a warm gust. What we do know is that it is better than the original.
Snowstorms also occasionally cascade through Level 241, sweeping away all poor feelings. They will freeze away any feelings of loss and despair and replace them with purpose and determination. Many have said that the storms are rough but the feelings afterward are worth the hurt. Snow will turn limbs into frigid masses that bring burning feelings due to how cold they are. A worthwhile feeling though.
These feelings though are not an inherent property of these events, but simply a feeling gained from surviving. The chances of these events happening are also quite low as they only appear every 40-100 days.
==\lfloorAccompaniment\rceil==
Separation here is solely a possibility if one and their companion were to get lost and lose each other but it would be easy to meet up again as the level is linear and Euclidean. One may enter with as many people as they wish but it is not advised to do so as the winds will be stronger whenever there are more people in a certain location.
Level 241 seems to be devoid of entity life and the environment is the only concern. Legends say an unconfirmed entity dubbed "Partygoers" once tried to enter the level but were instantly showered in leaves, creating a painful and fiery death.
It is also speculated that the trees themselves or even the level is "sentient" per se but it has not been confirmed. Discussions are still going on along with research to determine if the level just seems to sense things or is indeed controlling the trees. The trees, though, have more possibility of being entities as they seem to know when to release leaves but again, it is still undetermined.
==\lfloorAccess and Egression\rceil==
===\lfloorAccess\rceil===
 Access to such an anomaly can be gained through several different methods.
*If one finds the roots to the trees on Level 63, one can no-clip through them to enter Level 241.
*Occasionally, one can find a box filled with red maple leaves in Level 1, bringing them through a narrow hallway will cause them to jump out of the box and blind one for a short amount of time. When their vision is regained, they will be here.
*Find the door located in The Hub.
===\lfloorEgression\rceil===
Egression is quite simple and there are a handful of different ways to exit but the closer one gets to an exit or exiting, the winds will pick up even more.
*The simplest way to egress is to locate a bare road and continue walking on it until one feels drowsy and has heavy blinking, once this happens, one will be sent to Level -422 but this is advised against.
*Making it far enough into the far reaches of Level 241 will transport one to Level 63.
*No-clipping through a road can lead to Level -69.
