Ixtal Jungle



", remember the Kumungu affair? I still think it was your fault." -

The Jungle is a vast tropical forest located in the eastern part of the Shuriman Continent.

Brave Denizens Of The Wild
From the hinterlands of Kalduga to the ageless beauty of the Amarantine Coast, the jungles beyond the desert wastes remain shrouded in mystery. Once part of Shurima's vast empire, these verdant forests are home to many strange and terrifying creatures—and even the greatest mortal civilizations seem unable to gain a foothold...

Though there is primeval magic and fierce beauty to be found everywhere in these lands, only the strongest and most determined hunters and warriors will survive here for long... Oh, and Neeko too! Neeko loves the jungle!
