Ako Forest is located in Lycan Territory, on the frigid, terrifying slopes of Mount Naerma. The forests name means Ice in Lycan tongue, and the place is well named. It lies in the shadows of the mountains, and Spring is a time when the snow only drops a foot, then is replaced by more during one of Naerma's temper tantrums.
This is a place where you'll only find Lycans. And if you are not a Lycan, you don't want to find them. Many Travelers have lost their lives from stumbling down the wrong path through the mountains and into this horrors filled place. Which is what makes this forest a pretty good place to raise a family, due to the natural caves hidden away by snow, ice and stone.
Humans don't travel here unless they are lost or stupidly brave, so Lycans don't have to worry about a large group of Humans coming en mass to slaughter their families, or take the children as slaves. The only way any Human would have even a sliver of chance to survive is if the Human was female, good looking, and the Lycan isn't hungry. And even if this happens, for a while, that woman is going to be in a state of terror until the Lycan either decides he's done... Playing with her and eats her, or decides she's not half bad at all and has shown sufficient courage and decides to keep her as his mate. Lucky girl there.
This is one of those places where the sun has a hard time reaching past the trees, and perpetual darkness with a faint grey light from the snow presses upon the eyes.
Life here is hard, with difficult hunting, but along with the oppressive sense of fear and that you are being watched by hungry eyes, there is also a sense of freedom only those who are brave can feel.[/b]
