The Tiger and the Woodpecker
In the heart of an ancient forest, untouched by time, where the sun never quite reaches the forest floor, a world of balance and hidden magic exists. This realm is known as Verdancia, a place where even the trees have secrets to tell, and the rivers hold memories. The forest is thick with towering oaks, willows, and pines, each a monument to centuries gone by. Birds of every kind sing tunes that have existed since the first dawn. Creatures—large and small—live in harmony, respecting the ancient laws that govern the land. But this world is not one of peaceful coexistence alone; it is a land of conflict, of challenges, and of stories that transcend generations.
