Towering, skinny pines grow dense together, pushing up to the sky from their precarious shelves up the rise in the Forest of Whispers. Fog climbs thickly between them, sometimes met by gusts of wind that cause the trees to quiver and murmur, hence the forest's name. The forest slopes gradually upwards, leading towards the highest point in the island: Sounder's Point. Herds of deer slip through the mist, and even the occasional Spirit bear cuts through the soup, but otherwise it's stalk still.
