In comparison to Earth back in its days of flourishing greenery, Lumiere is perhaps the most alien part of Iwa that the people of Landing have encountered. Lumiere Forest starts on the northern banks of the Red River, stretches well past either side of the Ashen Mountains, and no one is sure of how far north the forest goes. The plants in the forest are what give Lumiere its name. The leaves, fruit, and flowers of the plants glow with green bioluminescence. At night, with no moon and in the thickest parts of the forest, it's still easy to navigate without a torch. The only thing that prevents people from inhabitating Lumiere Forest is a reptilian threat. The usual small, omnivorous lizards and larger, vegetarian lizards are present, but so are the strictly carnivorous serpents. Young serpents are only about two feet long, but the adults have been noted to be as long as twenty feet and perfectly capable of devouring a grown man. Worse yet, the serpents usually hunt in packs of three to five.
