The very edge of the land that was able to escape total destruction by the fire, the trees here are burnt, but not quite dead. Their bark is charred and blackened by smoke, but above, they still put out new growth. Mostly conifer, with some smaller bushes mixed in, it is a strange spectacle, with a distinct boundary between the untouched forest and the fire-scarred copse.

Time has smoothed over the effects of the fire that struck Pyrus, bringing new life and promise. But in this one location, at the heart of the copse, Time seems to have had no effect, for it is as barren as the day it was burnt. A perfect ring, the only area with no new growth, and an ominous silence. It is as though the nature itself reviled it, for no birds sing here, no grass grows, and no common animals will walk upon it. It has been left to the discoverers, to do with it what they wish.

Not all of the copse shows obvious sign of extensive damage, and the thicket is ample proof of this. Between the smoke-stained trees, new growth has risen from the ash-enriched soil; grass, ferns, and the red-topped wildflowers that gave the place its name. It is a pleasant, open place due to the lack of underbrush and smaller trees, like an old growth forest. Towards its edges, though, you can see that the earth is still and mostly cinders.
