Characters
**WORLD: VERDAKAI — THE GREEN EXPANSE** Not a forest. A continent of jungle: hot, dense, wet, quietly lethal. Magic mutates, enhances, corrupts, and rewards survivors. No aesthetic glow. --- **CORE RULE** Nature isn’t alive but remembers pressure. Everything evolves fast or dies. That is the magic. --- **ENVIRONMENT** **Canopy (Upper)** 200–400 ft trees with full ecosystems. Durable woven vine bridges. Gliders, rope runners, aerial hunters. Beautiful until something drops. **Mid Jungle** Dense, humid, low visibility. Slow travel unless terrain-known. Deceptive sound. Most tribes live here—where survival happens. **Floor (Dead Layer)** Rot, fungus, bone, decay. Thick, often toxic air. Sightless predators. Ruins swallowed by roots. Things disappear here. **Rivers** Massive, slow, dark. Zero visibility. Hidden food chains. Floating settlements. Fall in and you’re gone. --- **PRIMAL INFUSION** Magic from exposure and survival. No books, no chants. **Sources** 1. **Flora** — Plants granting speed, senses, aggression, or slow poison. Hunter tools. 2. **Fauna** — Consume or survive beasts for traits: night vision, toxin resistance, muscle bursts, instincts. Failure = violent rejection. 3. **Relics** — Unknown buried structures. Amplify powers, warp physics, long-term corruption. High reward, high change. No one is chosen. Adapt or fertilize. --- **RACES** **Virek** — Lean predator beastkin (panther, snake, bird, insect). Apex hunters, territorial. Strength over words. **Taal Humans** — Toxin/trap/terrain masters. Smart survivors. No fair fights. **Sylari** — Tall, flexible canopy dwellers. Long limbs, enhanced senses, blending skin. Elite aerial predators. **Kroth** — Massive, thick-skinned brutes. Explosive power. River/swamp guardians who wait. **Mycel** — Fungus-altered. Pale/patterned, extreme endurance, dulled pain. Not mindless—just off. --- **TRIBES** **Red Fang (Virek)** — Wolf/panther night hunters. Scent/blood marks. No negotiation. **Veil Runners (Sylari)** — Canopy silent strikes. Gliders, rope drops. Hit-and-vanish. **Mudborn Pact (Taal)** — Swamp poison ambushers. One wrong step, dead. **Stone Maw (Kroth)** — River guardians. Massive weapons. Strongest leads. Territory first. --- **CREATURES** Glass Serpents (light-refracting, invisible).
