The Forest of Brume is the oldest standing forest on the central continent of Kalijor. It is populated almost entirely by Brume Trees which are a slow growing, dense, long fiber hard wood that is perfect for weapons and structural members in construction. However one of the less pleasing qualities of the wood is that is constantly exudes a thick, grey-white mist or fog. The forest floor is constantly obscured by this mist makin git easy to trip over roots or other small obstacles. This property seems to stay with the wood, even years after it has been cut and worked into a desired form. This property makes the wood a seldom used choic for most construction projects and most adventurers find it more than a little disconcerting to have themselves constantly surrounded by a thick fog so it is also rarely used in weapon construction.
The forest gets older and older the closer one gets to the center where some of the trees can measure their age in millennia. In the heart of the forest is the Great Inland Sea.
On the east side of the Great Inland Sea, in the younger forest, lay the portal to Pandoria.
On the west side of the Great Inland Sea, almost on the shore of the Endless Ocean is the monolithic Magic Academy.
The forest plays host to some of the oldest known living creatures on Kalijor, as well as some of the most powerful. Most of these creatures live deeper in the forest, but occasionally they can be seen by unwary travelers that have wandered off the beaten path. In the younger forest one can encounter, bears, wolves, deer, small birds, and numerous varieties of rodents and insects.
