Deep in the heart of the Kozia Rainforest, Tafunga is one of the most biodiverse regions in all Gathandia. The enormous rainforest can roughly be divided into three tiers. The emergent layer is composed of the tops of the highest trees, where raptors and other flying creatures roost. Beneath the emergent layer, the thick canopy is home to the majority of Tafungan life. Jaguars, monkeys, various birds and reptiles, and all manner of mythical creature make their homes in the thick, tangled overgrowth that ranges from a couple dozen to a couple hundred feet above the ground. Finally, the forest floor exists as a dark, shadowed realm that never sees the full light of day due to the thick canopy. Enormous rodents, snakes, and crocodiles lurk in this murky region. | Deep in the heart of the Kozia Rainforest, Tafunga is one of the most biodiverse regions in all Gathandia.

Tafunga is most internationally notable for its exportation of many types of mushrooms with culinary, medicinal, and recreational properties. Tafungan merchants generally do not trade with [[Sozein]] due to their ongoing conflicts, but they will readily sell their mushrooms to [[Hadla]], [[Nausa]], Valstrom, and [[Shadradoth]], as well as to any international merchants who make the journey to Tafunga. However, upstanding Tafungans do not sell the starcap mushroom to any foreigners, as this mushroom is considered sacred and commodifying it in any form of trade arrangement would be seen as blasphemous. | Tafunga is most internationally notable for its exportation of many types of mushrooms with culinary, medicinal, and recreational properties.
