Cindersap Forest

Less of a forest and more of a component within one, the Cindersap Forest is a subsection of The Eldrok Forest that's boundaries are loosely defined by the local populations. Most consider the Cindersap to be anywhere the Endoflames reside, growing and shrinking the forest's territory as the flowers bloom and die. Others consider it to be the area in which Crumizur claimed and burned during the Linrean-Calumdorian War.
However one draws it, there is no doubt that the Cindersap is an expansive and notable region encompassing most of the Eldrok north of the Evermeet Mountains. It is separate from The Howling Embers, but both locations are prominent in the sense that they contain many things associated with flame-- the Cindersap's naturally resistant treeline confronts regular wildfires from the north and west, preventing them from entering the thicker forest to the south and potentially spreading across the lower half of Serotonia.
Exploring the Cindersap, one can expect to find ruins of abandoned Crumich encampments, and the occasional burnt-out stump; the remnants of a tree afflicted by an Endoflame.

Geography

Branching off from the Eldrok, the Cindersap has a similar geographical makeup to it's parent forest. Flat ground expands across the region, peppered by the occasional hillside and stopping only where the soil becomes too rocky to support saplings. The faint smell of ash and charcoal comes across when walking through the Cindersap, and it's nights are illuminated by the dim glow of a flowering Endoflame. Those camping within the Cindersap must be aware of nearby fires, a risk worth taking for some to visit such a calmful chaos.

Fauna & Flora

While one may not expect to find life in such a volatile landscape, the constant warmth perforating the Cindersap has attracted a undeniably unique blend of creatures and plants. Migratory animals such as birds and butterflies often inhabit the Cindersap during the winter, when Endoflames are most active and the forest is at it's warmest. Additionally, larger animals can be found within the Cindersap taking refuge from the outside world, hiding from hunters afraid of being burned.

Natural Resources

Due to the frequent barrage of wildfires, the trees within the Cindersap have naturally become more resilient to flame. This attracts the eye of lumberjacks and builders alike, using wood cut from the Cindersap for an added layer of security when constructing. A non-insignificant portion of Linrea's settlements use Cindersap's wood as a primary construction element.
