Corran Forest

The Corran Forest is a mana-rich temperate forest, situated on Comhalla. It borders the east of the Cheall forest and is the eastern border of Comhalla. There is a seperated part of the Corran Forest to the north of Comhalla, between Alba and Eirinn.

Climate
Corran has a temperate climate; mild temperature and even rainfall throughout the year, usually not getting below 0°C in the winter, and no above 30°C in the summer, with the trees providing cover for the harsh summer sun. The weather is damp frequently and is changeable. Temperatures are lower in the south due to the sea breeze and rainfall is more frequent in the north.

Wildlife
Corran has a high level of biodiversity. It is home to a large population of Ruadh, as well as rodents, such as Graineag and Babbits, and reptiles, such as Nathair, Nuimh and Lannan. Sionnach are a common predator, and the Allaidh are the apex predator, hunting Ruadh and Torc primarily.

The forest floor is covered mostly with grass and evergreen shrubbery, such as azalea, bay, box, ceanothus, griselinia, heather and lavender, as well as a variety of fungus species. Corran is a temperate evergreen forest, and the trees are typical to this, with eucalyptus, live oak, acacias and banksia trees common to the area. There are some deciduous trees at the border between the Corran and Cheall forests, such as oak, maple, birch and ash trees.

Magic
Corran is a mana-rich forest, meaning that mages who use magic within the forest will find their magic more powerful, and they take longer to run dry. While non-magical species can only identify passing from the Cheall forest to the Corran forest by the species of trees, mages can identify when they have entered the Corran forest by the surge of energy it grants them.
