Weeping Woods

Geography

The lush, green look of the trees of this forest is an elaborate deception, for there is nothing alive beneath the canopy. It is utterly silent beneath a canopy so thick that no light can penetrate it. Legend has it that just prior to the First Darkrider Incursion a powerful magic user placed a terrible curse on the woods, killing every living thing within it, including the residents of Storm Castle. Its lifelike appearance is explained that the same person cast a powerful illusion on the trees to keep the outside world from discovering what had happened for as long as possible. No one really knows for certain how true any of that is. There is a single clearing in the woods towards the eastern side that contains the massive stone structure known as Storm Castle.
