Spoiler: Tumbourland (Resonant) (Magic-granting) (click to show/hide)

Name: Tumbourland
[Resonant] [Magic-granting]
Neighbors:
Region: Central Garden
Traits:
 + Resonant: The various tumourous provinces resonate with each other through magical music. Any being gorges themselves on pusfruit equivalent to a third of their bodymass within a few hours gains a benign tumour somewhere in their body, becoming a resonator (Excessive consumption of pusfruit is discouraged). Resonators instinctively and precisely know the direction and distance of every resonant province, though with no identification of which resonant province is which. Potentially this makes for almost trivial navigation in combination with the sky axises. In addition, resonators may sacrifice stored bodily calories or calorie equivalents to the Tumbourland, allowing them to propel themselves towards a resonant province of their choice. Toggleable free smart pathfinding is available, with no pathfinding, the resonator simply moves in a straight line to the target resonant province. With pathfinding on, the resonator is propelled along the predicted fastest path to the target resonant province, veering around obstacles and calculating in the effects of various features such as the Polis Trade-Winds. Greater calorie consumption allows for greater speeds and phasing through obstacles and restraints. With clever switching between target resonant provinces, this allows for resonators to employ crude and limited multidirectional flight for combat or other purposes. It possible to starve yourself to death by poor management of resonant calorie sacrifice, making becoming a Resonator an easy method to lose those pounds. With the instantaneous sacrifice of roughly sufficient calories to cause a province-wide famine, it is possible to teleport all the way from one region to completely another region's resonant province. Shorter teleports are less calorie-intensive. The benign tumour is the link and familiar allowing for the sacrifice of calories to the Tumbourland for magic, and if it is somehow removed the being ceases to be a resonator.

 + Telepathy: Resonator contractors of the Tumbourland may sacrifice caloric energy (or the equivalent) to sense any other resonators within their vicinity. The more caloric energy expended the larger the radius they can sense. This is relatively cheap in terms of energy expended. Resonators may then initiate two-way telepathic contact with any resonators they can currently sense at no additional cost. Alternatively, the resonators may expend caloric energy to communicate telepathically, both sending and receiving, with any being they have communicated telepathically with before, making use of the remnant connections of such exchanges. This is more expensive the farther away the target is, but cheaper than sensing for resonators, and extremely expensive if the target is in another plane, by for example having died. A reckless telepath attempting to contact a deceased travelling friend without confirming their living status and sending more than a telepathic sentence or two may accidentally starve themselves to death quite easily. There is no consequences of overuse of resonant telepathy beyond the caloric costs involved.

 - Enchanting: Beings that enter the hypnotically beautiful Tumbourland are supernaturally reluctant to ever leave it again. Even if they do manage to leave it through force of will or being physically compelled to do so by outside forces (like a distant callback crew with ropes), they will often dream of it and frequently find themselves feeling homesick for the land of Tumbourland.

Description: A grove of meaty trees bearing pus-filled fruit amidst their hair-filled branches, roots filled with teeth digging deep into the fleshy mat of skin and gristle making up the forest floor. A tantalizing haze of perfume fills the air, coming from ear-flowers and trunks filled with malformed mouths. Everything is swaying slightly to a barely audible melody, so beautiful and entrancing that you could just sit there and watch and listen for hours on end. There are plenty of edible fruits, leaves and roots within the Tumbourland and plenty of animal life. Many of the plants are however carnivorous and care should be taken when travelling this province.

Split travel act, create the wondrous portal

Spoiler: the Wondrous Portal (click to show/hide)

Name:the Wondrous Portal
[magical]
Neighbors: None
Region: the Central Garden
Traits:
 + Call to travel: All those that stay in the same province inside the Central Garden for more then one night here the call to pass through it, with the call getting stronger every night you stayed at the same province as the last, with the call stopping only if you pass through the portal or leaving the Central Garden
 + Portal: Passing through the portal teleport the being to one of connected regions to the Central Garden in which the being can live
 - Surprisingly hard to find with the calls only giving vague sense of closeness
Description: A ring of islands all cut in a way to indicate a large circle between them which is the portal itself.
