Dolor Forest

Dolor Forest is a cursed forest twisted by unkown foul magics. Its thick canopy barely lets through light. All within its winding paths must contend with madness and exhaustion, be they man or beast. Even its outskirts are avoided, and extremely few ventured deep and emerged to tell the tale. Those who did make note of unnatural monstrocities within the forest's depths, though it is unkown how much of it is the ramblings of madmen.

Geography

There's some banks that run into the forest, making much of it muddy and hard to traverse. The thick canopy dampens out even the brightest of daylight, leading to neverending shade and nightfall. Deeper in, darkness is the only thing many creatures know.

Ecosystem

The forest's foul aura causes madness even in the beasts that roam it. The forest's outskirts are populated by wolves, elks, boars, bears, and many other animals that do nothing but hunt each other or anyone that dares venture in, by the forest's will. Deeper, closer to the heart of the forest, beasts known to man are much scarcer. The main populace is twisted monstrocities that have learned to coexist with this foul forest. Not driven mad, the inner ecosystem of Dolor Forest is much more stable, but equally as terrifying to anyone unfortunate enough to witness it.

Localized Phenomena

Something deep at the heart of the forest desires evil. It twists the minds and saps the life of all that step within it, bar the horrible monstrocities it hoped to create.

Natural Resources

While rich in pine wood, nobody in Parabor has dared stay close enough to the forest to tap into this resource.
