Wilted Forest

Description

 * "A desolate place where the Undead are known to prowl at night. It is home to The Abbey, where Sisters of The Faith ensconce themselves in quiet contemplation. Quite why they chose such a remote and dangerous location is unknown. Of course, it may be that in times past the forest was a far safer place".

Description
The Wilted Forest is a small forested region to the west of Gran Soren. As the name suggests, the trees here appear to be dead or dying, and are devoid of leaves.

The Abbey is the only human habitation withing the forest, home to a number of nuns; to the northwest of it is the Prayer Falls - northwest across the forest river is the Cursewood.

Species native to the forest are: Anathema Grass, scattered throughout the wood, found at the eastern edges of the wood; Loneflowers, common around the abbey, and found in a circle south of it; Toadstool Sitter, a tiny mushroom that grows throughout the area; and Spiny Nut, found in a gather spot, near to the Prayer Falls.

The forest is home to Deer, Spiders, and Crows during the day - on the southeastern part a band of Bandits have made their home, and set up tripwires - at the southern edge, close to the entrance to The Ancient Quarry is a pack of goblins and a Chimera.

At night the entire area comes 'alive' with undead of all types, and two Ogres set up camp north of the Abbey.

A number of Cursed Carvings can be in the environs of Abbey and wood.
