## Tactics

***Tactics sections may contain copious quantities of spoilers and speculation. Proceed with all due caution.***

No need to knock yourself out scrapping with Nitana for the Hats: Safety Dance side quest -- you'll probably fight lots of Osaril, which drop feathers, later on.

There'll be more quests in later areas that focus on fishing for Puna, so feel free to hold off on picking up the Luciola Puna side quest until you can pick them all up to double-count the Puna.

You might as well pick up the Forest Creatures side quest and earn the Luciola Shoes in the background while fighting everything for other reasons anyway.

## Lore

Luciola Forest, a small forest far east, furthest point from the King’s Castle. Home to Mama Tree, an ancient being who’s current form for the last millennium has been a giant tree. Home to the Valley Elders, and to those who migrated here with the elders during the Great Migration.

A high density of trees with wide leaves make it a natural sanctuary against the purple dust. Since time began the forest has been a preferred place for the playful Rudakai spirits to appear, no direct cause or pattern for the appearances have been identified. All attempts to communicate with the Kai have failed, all they seem to do is play in and out of existence.

No place to gather other than Mama tree. No tavern or inn, most who live here do so in the trees. The food is not much, but it is good. Pesters keep steeling my quills, its as if they want to keep me from writing.

Still no sign of the old man… I still have hope.
