Emberwood is a giant swamp filled with great mysterious magic. No one has quite figured out what causes the magic. Though many claim Analia the Green is the cause of much of the overflowing power.
However, denizens have adjusted to the oddness of seeing glowing gems growing out of the trees within the swamp.
They have also adjusted to the strange happenstances that occur due to the magic nature of the area. A majority of mundane common practices such as cooking and blacksmithing--to foraging for food is affected.
It is said that the first person to discover this swamp thought the trees were aflame and the gems were tangible embers. The name Emberwood sort of just stuck after a while, though there were contenders such as Flamewood, Emberswamp, & Glowwood Swamp.
Emberwood's namesake is the trees that grow glowing gems of miniscule magical power. These growing gems originally started out with solely red, orange, yellow, and white glows. Over time and manipulation, the color range has been increased drastically along with properties.
