Woodhope (location)

[1] - Woodhope :  A city within the massive trees with 100' wide bases. The Trade hub of the world, and a land of splendor and dreams. So the saying goes:  All roads lead to Woodhope, at least one would hope.

Infrastructure:

* A city among the trees.  The City up in the tree tops has all the splendors of a modern city, however it is primarily made within the wood of the trees where it is built.
* Plumbing is easily available using the veins of the tree as small water and sewer pipes.
* Due to the immense age and width of the trees they are easily capable of holding multiple houses around the trunk of the tree, as well as within.
* In this area high above the grounds the branches have formed rings and floors sturdy and surrounding the tree in a spiral, commonly called **canopies**.
* Bridges made of the branches of trees, intermingle the various rings of the city.
* Vines create ladder ways between different levels
* Down 60 to 80 feet below the **Canopies**, the trade routes wind along the ground around every tree in this massive forest leaving no piece of ground untouched from the constant traffic.

Weather:

* In this City the Rain falls constantly, but never touches the ground.
* With the leaves reaching far above the canopies, we see the gentle rain constantly hit causing a gentle fall and rise of the leaves, giving the area a slightly humid feel, however the leaves source the water into the veins of each tree creating the plumbing of the town, potable and otherwise.
* The temperature is always semi-cool here think 66 - 78 degrees.

Seasons

* Winter: a portion of the leaves fall leaving the light to keep the citizens warm,
* Spring: flowers among the vines bloom, generating an aroma for the entire town with a promise to one day become fruit.
* Summer: Never too bright the leaves function as a ceiling allowing for a glow of light throughout the city, lighting up the area in magnificent light. Still keeping the entire city cool. The flowers turn to special fruits resembling peaches skin, the insides of watermelons, but a flavor resembling a chai tea. This fruit the size of a small elephant is the delicacy of the region, and is the main cultural dish.
* Fall: The ceiling of leaves changes colors to provide an illuminating and beautiful hue, to the entire region and is by far the most populous of the seasons.
