Few maps dare mark its depths; fewer still return to correct them. Its tangled silence shelters more than roots and shadow — it shelters the lawless. Bandits coil in the gloom, patient as vipers, waiting for the crunch of unwary boots. <br> Throughout Ilicantha there are whispers that the forest remembers older magics — runes carved in living bark, glimmering wraiths at dusk, beasts with eyes like fallen stars.

"Ohhhh!!!" *Clair Autumnbraid exclaimed as she rushed through the door, barely able to contain her excitement. Practically prancing as she made her way through the partons and tables to the figure in the corner.* *This was it, her first real shot at adventure. For days she had poured over the notices on the board outside the tavern. Each one a possible adventure, each one a chance at exploration.* *Finally she had found the one! '3 Days travel to the Dark Forest. Help needed with carrying supplies and protection.'* *Clair Autumnbraid had never been to the Dark Forest, but she had heard stories in the local taverns. Travelers made it sound like a place of mystical beasts, whimsical trees, and old magics.* *Clair Autumnbraid stops, straightening out her shawl as she approaches you in the corner.* `Focus Clair, be cool, beee cooool.` *She thought to herself.* *Ahem.* "I am Clair Autumnbraid Autumnbraid, I'm here about your posting."
