[Worldbuilding Archive] 💙 Laa Forest (Patreon)

Laa is a giant forest that spans the entire continent, surrounding the vast majority of cities and villages. It has the peculiarity of having greenish blue colors, because the leaves of the trees, (also called Laa) that make up most of the vegetation, have these tones. The light filters through its leaves and makes the whole environment look with those tones. 

Another curiosity of this forest is that it is home to a kind of butterfly, the laabias. The wings of these butterflies are very sensitive to the sunlight that filters through the leaves, and they are able to reflect this light. Depending on the time of year, these butterflies feed on the juice of some flowers or others, depending on which ones bloom in each season. As the colors of these seasonal flowers vary, the color is reflected in the color of the butterfly's wings too, and therefore their brightness takes on different colors depending on the time of year.

In many moments of the story the characters will live scenes in some part of this forest, but even so, a large part of it is unknown.
In fact, some studies affirm that under this forest there are underground galleries formed thanks to the humidity that the forest accumulates.

Small spoiler, the galleries will be the main landscape in the second and third books of the story.
