<span class="DROPCAP">E</span>ntering the <span class="FORCELINK">[[Forest of Voices]]</span> from any direction seems safe enough. The trees are well spaced and the view clear at first. Within a few steps though, it becomes apparent that the forest isn't what it seems. Ridges curl blocking line of sight, the ground does not hold a footprint making backtracking difficult, and the trees all look remarkably the same. A sharp-eyed individual might notice [[ranger]]'s marks on certain trees. Although, one who is truly lost has a good chance of being found by <span class="ITALIC">Zhistay</span>, the gnomish woman who cares for the Forest of Voices. Her chin-length dark hair and sparkling deep brown eyes are often a welcome sight to those that inadvertently wander into the Forest of Voices. She has a wicked sense of humor, however, and isn't above playing harmless pranks on those passing through.

The Forest of Voices, near the base of the <span class="FORCELINK">Spine Mountains</span>, has weathered time, tsunamis, hurricanes, attempts at logging, even surviving Bloodstone's occupation. Why this little forest has shown such resilience has been asked more than once, and everyone has an opinion. One might say that it's far enough inland to avoid the worst [[destruction]]. Another might point out that the trees, while tall, have skinny trunks and make poor firewood, and the wood is too soft for building. Several will point out the Zhistay's staunch position on logging and hunting. And a large number of folks, especially those around Gi, will speak of the <span class="ITALIC">how'aki</span>.
