While this was the border, there was no real border but rather just checkpoints here and there.

"I expected this place to be a bit more… civilized," Lenora said, staring the elven village in the distance. Sweaty all over. It was getting hard to breathe.

"We do live in a forest," Drifus said. "You should see more or our northern cities."
Knee-high grass. Insects buzzed constantly.
