Kumungu

The Shuriman Jungles

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

The Jungles are the north-eastern territories located on the Shuriman Continent.

Lore

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!

History

A Mystery

Though the history of these wild, uncharted lands are an enigma, there are small tribes of people among the jungles, such as the village of Paretha, as well as ancient ruins that hint to former Shuriman occupation.

The Rune Wars

Deep in jungles south of Kumungu, between the rivers that divide eastern Shurima were the Gardens of Zyr. Elemental magics found in the soil allowed the growth of fierce, carnivorous plants that prayed on all creatures within reach. In the midst of the Rune Wars, a small company of soldiers lead by an ambitious sorceress entered these lands in search of a long-lost prize. A battle ensued between the vicious flora of the Gardens and the soldiers, forcing the sorceress to gather her power and unleash a mighty runic spell, creating a blast of energy. In that instant however, a rogue spark ignited the gasses throughout the swamps and caused an explosion, destroying all living things for miles around, leaving no survivors to tell the fate of the Gardens of Zyr.
