To the east of Minaak, beyond the aviary tower, there was a forest called Nimara-woods, the same forest in which djall perished four days ago. Known as the cradle of spirit-birds, the Nirma-woods encompassed 27000 sq yojanas (1 yojana=7.5 mile).
Apart from spirit-birds,
It was the abode of myriads of uncanny and magical species, folks like nymphs or as Vartian called them in spirit tongue 'Yakshinis', Curos who had bird-like faces and human torsos, etc.
Though falconers were tasked to keep watch over the forest, they never dared to venture deeper into the dense forest. The reason was simple; even with their powerful spirit-birds, the forest housed countless dangers even to 10 stars falconers.
Their last watchtower was 500 yojanas deeper, stood at the Puskar lake, the place where the nymphs came to trade their treasures on full moon nights called Purnima in spirit tongue.
