The Blood Forest

The Forest of Eternal Autumn
In the North East of The Great Continent there exists miles upon miles of deciduous trees. Their leaves are ever in a state of growing and falling from the branches, never turning green, but growing in shades of red, yellow, and orange. The forest is always cold, and travelers walking within a few kilometers of the forest would feel a cool breeze coming from the dense canopy and leaf ridden ground. The flame colored canopy and forest floor have earned this place the title of The Blood Forest in the common tongue.

A slow, creeping death moves along the floor, and wraps itself about the trees of ''The Blood Forest. This death is a rare form of Chlorophyll ''that has mutated far beyond its original purpose. Instead of taking in light, the plants of The Blood Forest take in magical energy and convert it into a sinister defense mechanism. All of the vegetation from the mighty trees that tower overhead, to the tiny ivy that grows under the litter layer of leaves, is deadly poisonous and corrosive. It is for this reason that The Blood Forest is always so deathly quiet. There are no birds, no squirrels, or other animals that live within the treeline... Except for one.
