Moraveil

Also known as The Fading Forest and formerly known as the Mysthralis Woods. In the perpetual twilight of Moraveil, reality seems to bend and distort. Shrouded in iridescent mist, it’s a realm where dreams and nightmares coexist, and its citizens, the elusive Moraveilians, are known for their uncanny ability to traverse this unique landscape, interpreting and even manipulating dreams.
It is currently located within The Akati Empire, which agreed to take charge of these strange lands from the King of Couralis as part of their resettlement agreement.
This is a cursed land, whose curse spreads slowly but surely from its source in an ever-expanding pattern, gaining about an inch of ground each year. No one knows what the origin of the curse is, but everyone knows what it entails these days. Monsters and creatures of this land become corrupted, mutated by the curse into horrible, dangerous creations. Fauna includes mutated dire beasts, poisonous flying serpents, the Wolf King, and the Beasts of Mysthralis.
It used to be a vibrant green, lush landscape filled with myth and ethereal beauty and home to the Mysthra Elves. Now those unfortunates who wander into this forest find the vegetation grey and ashen-like with a perpetual sense of decay. The source of its life and the dark colors unnatural. Though the forest appears dead, it is full of life in an offputting way and there is a perpetual "uncanny valley" effect within its borders.
The ruins of Zenithar are located in the heart of Moraveil and became corrupted at some point after the Sundering. The city had been built upon a deep set well of arcane power that the inhabitants did not fully understand. It is thought that the corruption began due to an explosion of an ancient artifact.
Those who survived fled across the mountains to the Akati Empire and settled there. The forest was cut back to prevent the spreading of the curse, but it was later discovered that the curse resided in the soil itself. Research is currently underway to save Moraveil and return it to its power and beauty of yonder years.
