Vastallosi Jungle



The Vastallosi Jungle is a Jungle in the center of Vastallos, and which takes up a plurality of the Continent.

It occupies the majority of carvaian territory and contains a variety of unique local flora and fauna.

The First Expedition of Escharo-Sneeds went to the lands of the Vastallosi jungle and named it "Khango" after prominent member of their community: Khan.

Population
The jungle is a dense wilderness that one can easily get lost in. For this reason, few people call it their home. The population of Vastallos is clustered in pockets where the jungle does not touch such as Port Ravenus or which have been cleared out through extensive deforestation projects, such as the city of Carvay. Those few who live in the jungle learn from a young age that survival means fighting your surroundings. They have developed unique cultures based on tribal solidarity and military prowess. Such cultures have produced many fearsome warriors such as Qayafa, who struck terror in Carvay and Sinatra for days on end.

The most notable people to come out of this region were the kawalapuans, which fostered a hunter-gatherer lifestyle by settling on the jungle's periphery and extracting resources from the interior and the newly discovered Mamacos, which, unlike the Kawalapuans, still live in the intact parts of the dense jungle almost never coming out of it, hence the lack of information we have on them. The tribe of Ossuary is notable for the famous thief Qayafa.

Also, the Vastallosi Jungle have more native ethicities: the Ava people, from the noth part of the jungle, for example.

Nowadays, the indigenous tribes are really endangered and assimilated with the Vastallosi main ethnicity. For that reason, the Mamaco Tribe and the Ava people has reduced its population in more than a 50% in comparison with the pre-states era. The mamacoan language is lowly known. However, indigenous tribes remain in the deep part of the damaged jungle.

Cities
There're many important cities. The capital city of the Serene Republic of Carvay; Carvay (city), is located in the heart of the jungle. As said, a great part of the carvaian territory is occupied by this jungle.
