The Lichenveld is the ancestral heart of the Viridante people. This expanse of temperate rainforests and jagged highlands is defined by towering trees and a pervasive, mystical dampness. The tall, sage-skinned Viridante navigate the steep slopes and dense canopies with ease. Visitors feel dwarfed by the terrain and the athletic giants who guard these misty valleys. It is a land of quiet strength, natural seclusion, and hidden silver.
