The Everseason

The large section of forest that wraps all the way around the massive Lake Garrison is constanly under the effects the seasonal effects known as the 'everseasons'. This keeps certain parts of the forests in perpetual states of fall, winter, summer and spring depending on its location and regional temperatures.

The elves have lived in the forests in Terragard longer than any other race, and claim to even have ancestors born in this land. They say that the entirety of the forest changes seasons drastically every thousand years, known by them as 'The Renewal' and say that all nature is in a slowed state of change, but it takes so long that most men wont live to see its changes.

Winter

 * The north is always cold and snowy, so all forests there are considered to be in perpetual hibernation, this is the 'Winter' everseason.  Most trees are alive in this region, though if any trees are to die of natural causes, it's most likely in this region.  New trees have ever been shown to grow in this region from sapling to tall adult without ever sprouting a leaf.  The winter everseason is seen to be a dangerous place, as winter everseasons have swept the land before, starving and freezing whole towns and groups of travellers who were not prepared for the cold.

Spring

 * Regions near the border of the winter everseason in the north appear to be in a  state of slow growth, but any removed foliage is quickly regrown, but never completely, this is considered the 'Spring' Everseason. This isthe smallest everseason in Terragard, since i s only a small band near the border between the winter and summer everseasons, but some isolated areas are always in spring bloom, and no ones eems to know why.  Some druids and elves report that these regions are regrowing after hundreds of years of winter, and thus it takes hundreds fo years of spring to fully bloom the forest.

Summer

 * The largest everseason is the summer everseason, and makes up most of the central band of the reaching forest surrounding Lake Garrison, the trees here are lush and in full growth, providing ample resources and protection for the wildlife. The forest is thickest in these areas, as the summer everseason is the oldest part of the forest, but it varies  depending on region - some areas of the summer everseason are relatively new growths, especially around where towns used to be, or currently are located.

Autumn

 * Toward the south, the fall everseason is the most interesting part of the forest - the trees constantly shed leaves and re-grow them at an alarming rate, but otherwise show no signs of actually passing into the hibernating season of winter. The colors in this region vary wildly in a  spectacular array of beauty, from greens to yellows and reds and browns.  Most tress bark turns greyish and appears drained of color, but  the leaves are constantly vibrant.
