The jungles of the southern continent stretch for thousands of square miles. Many refer to this region as a sea of jade. The jungle is a miasma of scattered tribes, ancient ruins, and internecine strife. An empire of degenerate sorcerers once ruled this region. Their reign, however, was undone by the corruption engendered by their wicked magics.
Most sorcerers do their utmost to mitigate the corruption inherent in the casting of spells. The sorcerers of the southern jungles embraced this curruption and allowed it to warm and twist their bodies and minds. All of them eventually forfeit their humanity as they delved deeply into their sorcerous arts.
It is rumored that many of the odd, horrific beasts which wander through the depths of the jungle were once the very sorcerers who ruled this land. Instead, they haunt ruins of their abandoned cities like ghosts. It is also rumored that many villagers worship these monstrosities as beast-gods, and routinely sacrifice fellow villagers to appease the appetites of these terrifying creatures.
