Green Hell is the name that stuck, and the name that’s earned – a stretch of dense, oxygen-thick jungle south of the Empire proper, humid enough that the air itself feels like a third combatant before anything with teeth ever shows up. Howler monkeys shriek somewhere close by at all hours, rain rarely stops for ..
