Damota (concept)

Biozone: Damota

The isolated land of Damota is walled in all sides by mountains that keep its unique and inexplicable inhabitants contained within its dense jungles. Deep canopies blanket the entire region, broken only by the Damotan cities and Etami Biyaki, or great lakes, that feed the region its water. The jungle is home to a diverse collection of fauna ranging from majestic, big cats to the far larger Damotan elephants and gorillas. Truly, it is a land unlike any other.

Walled in by mountains, the jungles of Damota have long carried a reputation as the homes of mysterious and inexplicable creatures, only rarely seen even by those native to the region. An endless sea of green stretches from horizon to horizon, broken only by the work of humans and the Etami Biyaki, the great lakes of the region. As we proceed into Damota, the towering trees block out the sun, only thin shafts of light reaching the forest floor through the thick canopy.

Even in the middle of the day, when the sun is directly overhead, it is at times necessary to use torches or magical lights to see the ground before us, and it is understandably easy to lose oneself in this vibrant and lush darkness. Insects swarm around us, buzzing through the wet air, which seems to weigh down upon us. Supposedly, the jungle is the domain of majestic cats, though one who listens to local tales, or suffers from bad luck, might find something more sinister and deadly within the green depths.
