Gwopesh Jungle

Comprising the forests of the western Sabo Jungles between the coasts of Ujaland and Guteng, the Gwopesh Jungle has long been a deathtrap for foreign explorers and natives alike. Teeming with predators and vicious, bloodthirsty natives, the region remains poorly explored and generally avoided despite the various temptations of natural riches and lost cities (such as Igamil) dotting the interior. For every dozen adventurers out of Red Bay who return from the interior of the Gwopesh Jungle laden with raw gemstones and half-worked gold idols, a hundred more never return. Though the lower humidity and more solid ground underfoot makes travel easier here than in some of the region’s other jungles, tribes of hostile Nchubbesfu, as well as more bestial predators, more than compensate for that advantage.
The jungle's most important physical feature is the slow and broad Gwopesh River, which feeds the surrounding jungles through dozens of poorly mapped (or completely undiscovered) tributaries. Though the river's better-known lower section is flat and broad, in the jungle's interior it flows around a series of low rocky cliffs and bluffs, and several rapids and small waterfalls have been discovered along its length.
Bordering upon but not part of the Gwopesh Jungle proper, Bannikel Bay and its namesake city provide the only deepwater port in the Sabo Jungles controlled by one of its native peoples rather than by foreign colonists or merchant consortiums. The Bannikel region benefits from cooler temperatures than the adjacent jungles, and savanna grasslands cover much of the region except for the cultivated land around the port.
