Gilt-Leaf Wood

The Gilt-Leaf Wood is a forest at the heart of the elven Gilt Leaf tribe's realm in Lorwyn. The capital of the Gilt Leaf realm, Lys Alana, lay within. Legend says that the Gilt Leaf Wood was created by Eidren, a shaman of the Perfect caste, known for his skill in shaping living trees. Eidren ordered hundreds of trees uprooted and rearranged into a pattern he deemed beautiful. The Gilt-Leaf Wood is the forest considered most beautiful by the elves. The trees have a sap that elegantly coats the spaces between the bark, and when the sun hits it just right, it seems to be golden and shimmers as if gilded.
