Level 257

Level 257 otherwise known as The Bluebelles is the 258th level of the Backrooms, it is full of natural beauty and is a safe and habitable place filled with many beautiful flowers.
== Description ==
Level 257 takes on the appearance of a flower-filled wooded forest, with tall trees reaching for the sky, the scent of dew and rain, and a variety of tree varieties and natural features. The trees are about 200 feet tall and provide habitat for much of the fauna at this level. The sky is always vivid blue, with occasional showers. Plant life is one of the most obvious aspects of this level when compared to other forest levels. The forest itself is roughly the size of a large boreal forest, and because this level is so large, there are numerous things to discover.
The quiet tranquility of this level will make guests feel completely at home; nonetheless, despite the safety and beauty of this level, there may be some man-made corruption and harm to the natural life and wanderers that encounter it. The big forest is full of various things, therefore do not cross the river unless you are with a group. The river separates the settlements, campsites, and populated areas from the serene, quiet, and safer places. Many of the creatures on Level 257 strongly encourage people not to go near the river. Level 257 includes many outposts of territorial groups due to the abundance of natural resources; so it is best to stay away.
Many camps will travel here because of the large supplies it contains. To begin, the river that separates the two regions of the forest is rich in red almond water, which provides users with increased healing, strength, and durability. The other side of the river is closely guarded by many groups and clans because of the scarcity of resources. The river is hundreds of feet long and takes up the central part of this level. 
The other side of the river used to be home to The Glow Shrooms but now belongs to many different outposts since this level was discovered. It was said that the origin of this river dates back to this level's creation when this level's flora was still blooming. The Glow Shrooms fled here from a remote land, finding safety in the thick forest and running off to live away from the entrance. Since this level was discovered, Glow Shrooms now live in caves with some small streams so that they can still absorb their much-needed moisture. 
The trees in this level create a focus-raising effect that spreads throughout the forest, implying that the more trees there are, the better a wanderer can explore and sustain themselves. Glow Shroom Guardians have enchanted these trees so that the Glow Shrooms could be highly cautious of anyone who may invade them. Finally, due to the huge population of mushrooms, they are primarily free for wanderers to take. They like many other entities have various anomalous features, making them a mainstay and key resource in the forest. Level 257 is home to many fruits and resources that ensure the safety of this level to this day. 
== Entities ==
The natural species here are known as Glow Shrooms. They can reside in groups of ten to twenty and frequently migrate around the forest. They have advanced weaponry and will not hesitate to use it if threatened. They reside across the lake from the forest's entrance and are extremely kind and humble to all visitors. There are numerous stories about these monsters and the origins of The Backrooms as a whole. 
These beings range in color from turquoise to blue, and they emit a bright light from their heads. They are around the size of an average child and have lived here since before The Backrooms were recognized. 
Despite the placid beings here, many wanderers make living here tough. The overpopulation of visitors has caused the Glow Shrooms to relocate into small cave systems that are inaccessible to humans. Fortunately, several small colonies of Glow Shrooms remain in the forest, offering a variety of trades and services to any traveler. 
===The Glow shrooms ===
*Glow shrooms are 3-foot-tall human-like creatures with black skin and yellow eyes that live on this level. Females come in more green tones, while men come in more blue and indigo. These creatures will glow yellow when threatened, they are also extremely knowledgeable and proficient at manufacturing tools and even magic. According to legend, the Glow Shrooms did not originate from Level 257 and may have begun in a remote world from here. Despite this, they are very protective of their new home and will do everything in their power to preserve the natural environment.
== Colonies and Outposts ==
===The Backrooms Colonists ===
*The Backrooms Colonists have a small outpost just west of the river bank. They are friendly and will often serve and protect the wanderers and natural life here from other dangers.
Their group has around 40 members and they mostly spend their time patrolling the river from any groups that try to take it all for themselves. They have many tools, supplies, and even various level keys! They have a small lookout, a couple of ash-colored tents, and a cozy fireplace for anyone to be accompanied to. 
They are open to trading and will only allow certain items to be handed down. They do not trade with other colonies, only with small groups of wanderers. 
===Anti-Entity Agency (AEA) ===
*The Anti-Entity Agency (AEA) is a group of trained militants that guard and ward off most of the northern region. They have been known to show territorial behavior, violence, and even possible warfare if threatened. They guard the other side of the river bank and are very harsh but will help if needed.
Their group consists of 40-60 individuals but because of the spite they have for the others here, they choose not to go to war to defend a natural resource. 
They are not open to any trading and they will often discourage it among travelers. (This group has also caused the native population here to move away.)
===The Backrooms Wanderers Organization ===
*The Backrooms Wanderers Organization (BWO) has a small settlement in the far north. They occupy the darker areas of the forest and are territorial to any of the mentioned groups. They accept new wanderers and will help when needed. despite their small size, they have made many progressions in Level 257 that have benefited the homeland itself. Some things include setting up lanterns, regrowing plant life, and even maps for the travelers lost here.

===The Glow Sanctuary ===
*The Glow Shrooms are a natural species of The Bluebelles. According to folklore, they came from another world and escaped to this one. These creatures reside in small tribes throughout the forest, with the main kingdom located in the enormous cave complex along the riverbank.
