@ Deeza and morcroft - Yes, Murkwood does have a caldera according to the height map I created. It may not be an obvious one but we'll have to see once it's generated and we have the LOD. However, it's not one huge caldera. The caldera itself surrounds the settlement of 'Mulum' which I'm planning on using as a small collection of houses that surround the tree city of Murkwood itself.

As for the look, I think you got it sussed. Things get wetter further South. I wanted Murkwood to be quite substantial, for variety's sake as much as anything. Plus I'm pretty sure that the only way you're going to get that 'dripping with goo' effect on those tupelo-style trees in the pic is by creating static models.

Murkwood does have plenty of water but mainly in the form of streams and rivers rather than large sections of waterland. Vudai Marsh will probably be a bit wetter actually but some of that will be quicksand.

@ Xae - Excellent selection of names! I'll give this a little thought and then create a poll. :goodjob:
