Amedio Jungle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, the Amedio Jungle is a large stretch of tropical rainforest located in the southwestern Flanaess, on the continent of Oerik. Lying east of the Hellfurnaces, the Amedio extends over 300 leagues south from its northernmost point at Jeklea Bay.

[edit] Population

The jungle is populated by Olman and Suel tribesmen, intelligent apes known as dakon, and numerous species of tropical flora and fauna. The Olman people make their home mainly in Xamaclan, the last city-state of the Olman.

[edit] Adventures

The border of the Amedio Jungle and the Hellfurnaces was the setting of Dungeon Magazine's Shackled City Adventure Path. This adventure detailed the history of the region between Jeklea Bay, the Amedio, and the Hellfurnaces, going back 3000 years to the time of the spellweavers' domination of the area. In that timeline, a battle between the Abyssal hordes and the forces of good took place around what is now the city of Cauldron.
