The desolate cold lands of the north is a hostile environment to life.  Plants do not grow, very few animals exist in the icy wastes, and yet, by divine power, a forest has grown there that is warm and vibrant.  The edges of this sacred forest fight constantly with the natural environment, frozen leaves break and fall.  A warm breeze sweeps through just enough to have industrious insects retrieve the food source, and use it as they may.  Nymphs throughout the forest tend plants and animal life.  Mushrooms continue the cycle of life and brave moonlight fae mice leap through the undergrowth hunting for prey and places to live.  Near one of the hot spring lakes of the forest, a unique moon garden functions as another distinct ecology within the broader diverse system that spreads throughout the area.

Some places within the sacred forest are active hot geysers excited into action at times by the presence of another guardian below the surface.  Below, swimming through the deep stone and mantle is the Firewyrm.  The molten beast sometimes comes to the surface spewing lava in its wake where divine magic cools it quickly and other plants of Xanaria's garden spring forth.
