Range of Sun Mote Copse

Territory

Whether due to the prevalence of ragweed and flowers or by some other unspoken natural wonder, Sun Mote Copse is known for always having particles of something, usually pollen, floating through the air. The trees grow high and sparse, with sprawling canopies that filter in the sunlight, making Sun Mote Copse the brightest of all forests in the area, and the drifting particles practically glow with the sunlight.
