Ecology and Climate
Because of unfavorable conditions, one can wonder how such location still retained ecological life. Most of the environment was covered with immense, black-colored trees that were large enough to cover the skies, making sunlight unreachable down the grassy lands. It is located southeast of Snowbound Zone. Mormon Woods once was home to many creatures, including a mysterious civilization. However, because of the airborne poisonous miasma that was placed there, the forest's animals and residents experienced complete extinction.

Because it was mostly lifeless, Mormon Woods was also unnervingly silent. It began leaving many trails of negative Chaos energy and skeletons around. Unfortunately, in Twilight Whispers, the entire location was decimated in an explosion of energy.
