Jungles of Hirokir

The Jungles of Hirokir is a vastly forested region on the continent of Estiel. It is smaller than Tyrrus and less populated, though the denseness of the jungle means many mysteries are able to hide within it.
The Jungles are home to a collection of mysterious city states, collectively referred to as the nation of Hirokir. The Jungles are home to the Hirokiri people.
== Geography ==
The Jungles of Hirokir are the largest rainforest region in Coryphiel. Well over 600,000 square kilometres of thick jungle, carpeted over a topological mess of crags, canyons, lakes and rivers. The canopy is over a hundred metres high in most places, and the undergrowth is thick.
The climate of Hirokir is hot and humid, yet the jungle canopy usually protects its inhabitants from the harsh sunlight. During the winter months, Hirokir is plagued with torrential rain. In the northern area of the region, rain falls almost all year round. Yet flooding is not an issue due to the fact that very few areas of Hirokir are flat, and all the cities and villages are built on hills. Water collects in pools and lakes, and runs in rivers down throughout the nation.
Because of the erratic topology of Hirokir, and its dense plant life, traversing the jungle is incredibly difficult. Additionally, mapping the nation in any level of detail is almost impossible, especially since the Shamans are fond of changing the terrain often. Certain paths, sacred to the Hirokiri people, allow relatively safe travel, though they often take a long and winding route to avoid obstacles.
Though ferrous metals are rare in Hirokir, magical crystals are abundant. Their elemental energy suffuses the plant life around, bringing a magical vigour to the jungle.
