"What are the effects of the spriggan sanctuary on other species? Ask this why I saw a publication that even nymphs were affected in this region"
Good question! It's true that the nymphs of Spriggan's Sanctum look unique compared to most other nymphs around Looming Gaia. They are described as looking more "masculine", "dangerous", or "like soldiers". They are bigger, more muscular, usually have thorns or armor-like plates, more vivid colors, etc.
That's because nymphs manifest from nature and take the appearance of whatever is in their local region. A daisy limniad manifests in a daisy patch. A lion-like faunae is born from a lion. A gold oread manifests in a vein of gold ore. And so on...
The flora and fauna of Spriggan's Sanctum looks "alien" compared to other regions. Almost all creatures living in this region, including the plants, are dangerous. As a result, many of the nymphs that manifest here also appear dangerous.
Examples of native creatures are unicorns and greedy greens. As you can see, they are both pretty scary looking...But this kind of appearance is normal for this region. Even the bunnies and flowers look like they will hurt you.
This natural process only affects nymphs, as they are born from the land. However, the local goblin tribes have adopted similar looks for themselves to keep invaders away.
Beneath the skin they look like any other goblin. But they dress themselves in armor-like clothing, modify their bodies with a lot of tattoos, scars, and painful-looking piercings, paint themselves with coal and war paint, and so on...These cultures also prioritize learning hazard spells and combat skills above all else.
Historically, most goblin tribes have been peaceful, prioritizing other things over military. But their peaceful ways eventually led to their worldwide oppression, and the goblins of the Sanctum feared they would be next if they didn't do something drastic.
Spriggan's Sanctum is like this because of Green Witch's influence in its early history. She used her divine powers to forge spriggans and alter the local wilderness, basically forcing plants to evolve in a certain way. These plants became more dangerous, so the animals naturally evolved to be more dangerous to survive, and then the peoples adapted to be more dangerous too.
This started an evolutionary cycle that ramped up over thousands of years, until Spriggan's Sanctum became the scary alien forest it is today.
