The creatures of the Isles cannot easily get to Frostfire, the Crescent Mountains dangerous and near impossible to cross even for birds, the White Plateau dangerous both due to the Banished as well as the bitter cold winds and desolate waste, and the wall of thorns that grows against the Glow Lantern River makes entering from the south east border impossible. As such to much of the Isles it is little more then legend in their favorite stories. Jack seems to be the only critter able to survive around here, and no one knows how or how he manages to even arrive at the forests safely. He isn't one to speak much, so it all remains a mystery, or perhaps just a grand tale he has made up.

Those who survive in the nearby Starlit Stone Ruins however often must enter into the forest surrounding it. And they know of its dangers - shadows that come alive in the darkness, taking on the shapes and forms of grotesque, unnatural beings. While the danger is immense so is the desperation of those who live here, and the mushrooms that grow in the forests are highly valuable for trade on the Black Market. Left with little choice critters venture into the darkness and often never return.
