The jungle of perils is a large region north of Felarya, past the Jadong lake. When you enter the Jungle of Perils, you immediately know it.

Crimson woods
Danger: Very High
Inhabitants: crimson maidens, echydins
The Crimson wood is an area deep in the Jungle of Peril, home of the fairy tribe known as the crimson maidens. It's name is derived from the leaves of the trees that grow in the area, which shimmer from within as if containing fire, filling the forest with an eerie glow at night. Very little is known about the wood due to the legendary ferocity of these fairies and the high number of magical defenses which violently kills any creature that strays too close. Even the strongest predators know it's best to avoid this place completely, the decaying corpses of those who attempted to feed on the crimson fairies giving them additional incentive. Many adventurers have attempted to enter the Crimson Wood, seeking the magical gemstones and fabulous treasures rumored to lie within. Very few have made it inside the wood, and those who did only ended up in the stomach of one of its inhabitants. What little is known about the interior of the Crimson wood has come from the few fairies which have been mortally wounded on their proving quest and have been interrogated before their deaths. They all have described a peaceful and quiet place, where the Crimson Maidens live in harmony with their environment and obey the commands of their leader, Alsherala.
