Mystical Forest

The forest out east of Tingledom is the Mystical Forest, which is a distinct cultural entity from Tingledom itself, though they come from the same origins. It has its own separate governing bodies, and runs quite independently from Tingledom, except for the major issues, which are referred to the Queen.

The trees in the forest take thousands of years to grow, and the people there live in the treetops, so only limited spaces are available to live in the forest.

Some of the residents of the forests have wings so they can fly to the treetops. Another method is using large leaves the size of large water lilies, that you can stand on.

The dwellings at the top of the trees are surrounded in glass, offering 360 degrees around at the top of the forest, and also have glass bottoms, which can be quite frightening for those who are afraid of heights, to appear to be sleeping very high above the ground.

The forest is full of bioluminescent life, being brightly lit at night by all the natural compounds in the organisms down below, which range in colour from pink, green, orange, but the most predominate colour is blue.

It is known as the best place on the surface of earth for viewing the stars, and has been sought after my renowned astronomers, but the delicate ecosystem needs protection, so no astronomical observatories have been allowed to be built.

Within the forest are also healing springs. They are not hot springs, but refreshing, and also have healing properties, and also have bioluminescent life within as well, they are truly unique. Within these springs is a type of seaweed (though the water is freshwater), which appears to convey healing benefits, of less stress and restores energy to those who bathe within its waters.

Unique to the Mystic Forest is the Visual Massage, where a massage is described, but no touching actually happens, the only thing the skin feels is the whistling of the wind as the masseuse moves her hands past.
