Whispering Thicket
Geography
The Whispering Thicket is characterized by dense, gnarled trees and a thorny underbrush that seems almost sentient. The winds from the Sword Mountains occasionally cut through the silence, adding a chilling, howling backdrop to an already eerie landscape.
History
As a part of the Kryptgarden Forest, the Whispering Thicket's origins are steeped in dark tales. Legends speak of an ancient battle whose bloodshed forever tainted the land, resulting in the thicket's malevolent aura.
Inhabitants
Significance
Feared by travelers and locals alike, the Whispering Thicket is avoided due to the dangers it is said to hold. However, it also attracts those drawn to dark magic, seeking knowledge or pacts with its sinister residents.
Recent Events
The Whispering Thicket has recently come into focus following a significant upheaval within the coven of hags. Greentooth, once a member of this coven, was cast out and has since sought revenge against her former sisters. This internal conflict caught the attention of the Crimson Heroes, who were drawn into the complex web of deceit and vengeance within the Thicket. Greentooth's expulsion has also led to shifts in the balance of power within the Thicket. The hags' influence over the area seems to be fluctuating, potentially leading to unforeseen changes in the behavior of its creatures and the very essence of the forest itself.
"The trees have ears and the shadows eyes. In the Whispering Thicket, not all that murmurs is the wind."
