Crimson Forest

The Crimson Forest is a woodland region that was the site of a great battle approimately 500 years ago.

The Crimson Forest is inhabited by wayward ruffians, bandits, nomads, and wandering groups of adventurers. Many outlaws seek refuge there.

Wildlife include occasional deer, rabbits, and birds. Magical creatures, such as unicorns, avoid the Crimson Forest.

History
The Crimson Forest was the site of a legendary battle waged over 500 years ago between armies of elves, dwarves, men and orcs. After the battle the rivers ran red and the woods were dubbed The Crimson Forest.

The human militia of the Eternal Kingdom normally does not investigate the forest, as many of those who enter do not exit.

Rumors & Unrest
After the battle, the forest was said to be so bloody that every single tree that grew in the forest was splattered red with blood, and the soil under the warriors' feet was stained crimson. The wood remains haunted and you can still find polished, white bones amoung the thick, red forest floor.

There are rumors of elves living deep within the woods, hiding from the pursuit of the Eternal Kingdom's tyrranical Undying Emperor.

The forest also appears to attract morbid visitors.
