Emory Woods
The Emory woods is a mystical temporal forest located between the Nether Mountains and the Anauroch desert. The forest is shrouded in a mysterious aura that makes it almost impossible for outsiders to navigate through its dense and tangled underbrush. The trees in the Emory woods are tall and slender, with leaves that shimmer in hues of green, gold, and copper. The forest is home to a variety of wildlife, including unicorns, centaurs, and sprites.
Unfortunately, the Emory woods was once plagued by a curse from the evil deity Cyric, which caused a portion of the woods to wither and die. The curse left a dark stain on the forest, and for years, the trees struggled to grow and flourish. However, the curse was eventually lifted, and the forest has slowly begun to recover. New saplings are sprouting up, and the wildlife is starting to return to the area.
Despite its beauty, the Emory woods can be a dangerous place for the unprepared traveler. The forest is full of hidden dangers, including quicksand pits, venomous snakes, and hostile creatures. Those who venture too deep into the woods may find themselves lost or trapped, unable to find their way back to civilization. Despite the risks, many adventurers are drawn to the Emory woods, seeking to uncover its mysteries and discover the secrets hidden within its enchanted groves.
Evelyn, the last druid of the Emory Woods and member of the Emerald Enclave is the last remaining caretaker of the woods after the others were driven made by the curse.

History
The Emory Woods were originally a lush and vibrant forest located between the Nether Mountains and the Anauroch Desert. It was said that the woods were blessed by the gods themselves, and many believed that the spirits of ancient elven guardians watched over the forest.
However, in the year 1458 DR, a dark curse befell the Emory Woods, cast by the god of murder, Cyric. The curse caused a portion of the forest to wither and die, and the once-beautiful trees became twisted and gnarled. The elves who lived in the forest were driven mad by the curse and turned to worship Cyric.
The curse lasted until a group of brave adventurers, led by a chosen druid, entered the woods and fought their way to the heart of the cursed area. There, they were able to break the curse by destroying an artifact that Cyric had left behind with the help of an ancient treant.
In addition to the curse placed on the Emory Woods by Cyric, there were also rumors of a powerful magical artifact hidden within the forest. Many adventurers and treasure hunters ventured into the woods in search of this artifact, but none were successful in their endeavors.
Legend also has it that the Emory Woods were once home to an ancient elven civilization that thrived in harmony with the forest. However, due to a catastrophic event, the elves were forced to flee the forest and abandon their homes. Some say that the spirits of these ancient elves still haunt the woods, protecting its secrets and treasures from those who seek to exploit them.
Over the years, the Emory Woods have become a place of mystery and wonder, attracting both brave adventurers and cautious travelers seeking to experience the magic and beauty of the forest. The Emerald Enclave hold it in great reverence and have worked hard to restore it to its former glory after the curse was lifted. The Emory Woods are now a thriving ecosystem, home to a diverse array of flora and fauna, and a symbol of the power of nature to overcome even the darkest of curses.
