- Originally called the “forbidden forest”
- Located between Lancaster and Crossroads
- Absolutely FILLED with fey and druidic magic
- Those who walk through the forest unprepared will be tempted to stray from the path by illusions
- The illusions can be visual or auditory (The Party heard their own voices and saw Vallen’s footprints straying from the path; Vallen heard The Party’s voices say things they shouldn’t be able to know)
- One’s perception of time while in the forest is warped (for The Party, time passed extremely fast without us realizing it, and we spent an entire day trying and failing to make it through the woods)
- So long as one remains on the path and looks down during the entire trek through the woods, they can pass through safely. Those who don’t are sent back to where they started (rather than being allowed to make it through the woods).
- When a traveler looks down in order to pass through safely, creatures might tug at their clothes in an attempt to make them look up.
- Creatures that are immune to being Charmed are immune to the “back-to-where-you-started” magical effect.
- Skinwalkers reside in these woods
- DANGEROUS! SCARY!! CAN MIMIC PEOPLES’ VOICES
- Likely that there is a brood mother or head honcho of some kind
