Black Woodland

An expanse of particularly dark forestry found deep within Soil. There is no canopy to prevent light from streaming in; on the contrary, most of the abundant plant life is deadened and thin, kept on the brink of life by a massive black tree and the glassy pool that feeds it toward the center. The darkness seems to be its own ambient light, as if the outer atmosphere acts a dimmer for the sun to filter through before reaching the treeline.
