Blackmire Trees

The Blackmire Trees is a dreary place, full of thorn trees, brambles, briars, and thickets. Its massive trees are black with age, and seem to whisper and talk amongst themselves when an interloper dares to pass beneath. Some claim that ripples of waving leaves and moving branches - can be seen in the path of those entering the place, but this is unproven. The western end of the forest is of a different nature than the rest. Where it grows upon the Greyhammer Peaks. The woodlands are open and clean, but the eastern portion of the forest their character becomes foreboding and hateful. The farther south one goes, the worse the forest becomes, until it is filled with an oppressive and evil atmosphere where it climbs the Invertock Barrow. Its known to be a wise thing to stay away from the Blackmire, as its filled with all sorts of ancient beasts, twisted and corrupted by some unseen force deep within its boughs. It seems even the forest wishes people to stay away, as strange effigy's of skulls and bone hang from the branches like haunting wind chimes of a time long forgotten.
