Dark Forest

A dank and shadowy forest in northern Serenia. The trees grow so close together that its easy for an adventurers to get lost once they enter the forest. It was once home to a particularly nasty Old Witch (who is now spending the next 4000 years inside of a Genie's bottle thanks to King Graham). Strange and mishapen plantlife grow on the decaying forest floor, including, crooked trees, fungus and man-eating plants. Toads (the unfortunate victims of the spells of the Old Witch) hop around the forest trails, and act to warn those venturing into its depths. The eyes of creatures can be seen blinking near the trails, be they the eyes of unknown monsterous creatures, or simply curious elves spying on forest intruders. The elves are of a mannikin race of elves, small of stature, they live in underground caverns beneath the forest. Sometimes the strange creature known as Rocky, is known to block paths in the forest making it even harder for adventurers to find exits.
