Ashen Forest

If one flees south from the volcano — or stumbles past it after one too many mushrooms — they will find a welcome change of scenery: a forest of pine trees. After last year's tree-laden Arena, this small forest seems rather pitiful, but it still offers more cover than any other place in the Arena. However, that's no guarantee of safety. Trees here seem slightly wilted, their trunks pallid and their needles, particularly those near the volcano, marred by a thin layer of ash. Tributes shouldn't let the apparent protection of greenery lull them, for a false sense of security may well be their downfall.
