Darkenwood Forest

The Darkenwood was created in 279 AF through the Ritual of the Darkenwood, a joint endeavor of the Orders of Twilight and Gaia to protect the forests of Sapience. Once a part of the Northreach Forest, the Darkenwood was imbued with the essence of Twilight and is now a completely separate place.

The main residents of the Darkenwood are the arachnoi, sentient spider-like creatures, and their queen, Istishia. The spirit Urania, being deeply connected to the very essence of the forest, dwells here with her sister Propasia. Atop a secluded tower one will encounter Vinia, the Black, while roaming through the forest is the mad sorceror, Dusk, a servant of Twilight. Sharbrena, the Cleric of Darkness sits within the Shadow Grove at the heart of the forest, guarding the entrance to the Shadow Realm. Within a secret crypt lurk dangerous shadows and Caligino, the Shade.

Also of interest within the Darkenwood are several cairn stones marking the history surrounding the forest, and a library containing various texts of the orders of Demeter and Twilight.
