Difference between revisions of "Darkenwood Forest"

'''The Darkenwood''' was created in 279 AF through the [[Ritual of the Darkenwood]], a joint endeavor of the [[Divine_Order|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 [[forest spirit|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 [[Sharbrena]], the Cleric of Darkness, sits within the '''Shadow Grove''' at the heart of the forest guarding the entrance to the [[Shadow Realms]]. 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, as well as a library containing various texts of the Orders of [[Demeter]] and Twilight.
