	'''Jhembaz''' (pronounced {{IPA\|/dʒɛmˈbɑːz/}}) is a [[worlddisk]] in the [[plane]] of [[Qabede]] which is entirely covered with a thick layer of trees, vines, and other plants. The foliage extends even over the world's oceans, and is at its center as thick as the earth of the disk itself. There are civilized nations on Jhembaz, but they are built into and among the treetops, and have boundaries in three dimensions; nations and city-states may be layered one over the other.

	Given its profusion of plant life, it shouldn't be a surprise that Jhembaz is home to many strange and exotic varieties of plant. While there are many kinds of tree and vine that are unique to Jhembaz but otherwise fairly unremarkable, there are also many kinds that have unusual properties. One notable plant is the [[deertree]], which grows fruit called [[deerfruit]] that mimic the shape and behavior of animals. On the [[Great Island]] grows the [[Dreaming Tree]], a unique organism that affects the dreams of those nearby and channels powers through them.

	Though many large parts of Jhembaz are wilderness untenanted by civilized being, there are many other large parts that are densely populated by humans and other cultured creatures that construct their own edifices and complex cities for their dwellingplaces and workspaces. These communities exist at all altitudes, from the ground level to the uppermost treetops. The location, of course, affects the available building materials; earth and stone, for example, are practical building materials primarily at the lowest level (though there are some places where they are transported to much higher levels); up among the foliage structures are much more likely to be made of wood and of certain exotic materials made from the resources available there, such as [[chitin brick]] and [[bambara]].

'''Jhembaz''' is a [[worlddisk]] in the [[plane]] of [[Qabede]] which is entirely covered with a thick layer of trees, vines, and other plants. The foliage extends even over the world's oceans, and is at its center as thick as the earth of the disk itself. There are civilized nations on Jhembaz, but they are built into and among the treetops, and have boundaries in three dimensions; nations and city-states may be layered one over the other.

==Geography==
{{main|Geography of Jhembaz}}
Unlike many worlddisks of Qabede, Jhembaz is ''not'' rimmed by water, and does ''not'' have a [[spacefall|giant waterfall]] cascading off its edge—either upward or downward. There are, however, several such spacefalls falling ''onto'' Jhembaz, from the worlds above. The water pools into a number of seas and other bodies, in several layers; aside from the bodies of water directly set into the surface of the world, there are [[arboreal sea]]s above the ground held entirely by dense plant growths. The ultimate outlet for the water in Jhembaz is through the [[Bottomless Sea]], where it mixes with the water from the other side of the disk and eventually disperses into the air of that side as a thick mist.

Jhembaz is sometimes referred to as a jungle world, and with good reason. Thick foliage covers the entire disk, even extending over the oceans. This is not to say, however, that the entire world is covered by uniform terrain. Different climates and different types and combinations of plants make for [[Terrains of Jhembaz|varied terrains]] which, while they could all be classified as "jungle", have very distinct appearances and characteristics.
