Green Despair

Overview

Green Despair is a special Combat Colony located in a corner of the Forest of Nostalgia, a vast forest in the Pastur Continent.

History

As a colony located in the hot and humid jungle region of the Forest of Nostalgia, its official name is the “Third Special Combat Colony of Polis Industria.” However, people call it “Green Despair.” Originally, “Green Despair” was the name of a highly fatal endemic disease found in this jungle region. The disease is mentioned throughout the records of the expedition team contained in the Nevareth Chronicles. According to people who contracted and recovered from the disease, no horrific training regimen could compare to it. However, the harsh natural environment was clearly useful for training warriors, so the Sage Tower decided to establish this place as the foundation of a Special Combat Colony. It was later built as a Combat Colony by Sage Sirius. However, even after a long time had passed, there were no signs of the dangers warned about by the Sage Tower, and now only staff dispatched by the Sage Tower, trainees, and merchants who make their living from them reside here.

Features

The weather is extremely changeable: it may rain all day, or, even after the skies occasionally clear, a sudden heavy squall may pour down without warning. The humidity is also intense, making days without rain hot and muggy. In particular, infestations of insects are a major problem. A huge river crosses the great forest, with tributaries winding through it like veins. When Green Despair was being built, the expedition team explored along these tributaries and discovered numerous traces of pioneer villages. However, no inhabitants remained. Possible causes include the terrible natural environment, monsters, and endemic diseases. Traces of such pioneer villages still remain around Green Despair, but most have now become lairs for monsters. Powerful insect and plant mutants inhabit the surrounding area. Other notable features include an area called “Red Jungle” and the “Young Tree of Life” trees. Like the Red Desert among deserts, Red Jungle is a jungle with an extremely hostile environment where life struggles to survive. All that can be seen are gloomy red soil, grotesquely mutated plants, and enormous, hideous insects. The expedition team also discovered traces of a pioneer village devoured by Red Jungle. After confirming that the plants of Red Jungle were younger than the village itself, they cautiously concluded that Red Jungle was expanding for “some reason.” Meanwhile, the “Young Tree of Life” trees are large enough, though not as enormous as the Tree of Life faintly visible in the distance. Several were discovered around the Colony. The expedition team could not confirm whether they were the same species as the “Tree of Life,” but judged that this was possible and gave them that name. The clothing worn here is a shorter and lighter style based on the clothing formerly used in Industria. At first, it had to be procured from outside the distant forest and brought here for sale, but as more people have begun traveling here, more vendors are now producing it locally.
