The Story of Hellwood’s Cursed Forest

Legends say that hundreds of years ago there was a witch, Ashwyn Blackroot, and her coven who lived in the woods near what is now Elwood’s Orchards. As the story goes, people trespassed in the woods, cut down the trees, persecuted and killed the witches who lived there. In a last desperate attempt to protect the coven and what was left of their domain, Ashwyn cast a powerful curse on the land, closing it off to the encroaching civilization. The trees and creatures within were twisted and reshaped to protect the forest from intruders. The closest village was swept up in the curse and vanished, now referred to in whispers as the Village of Lost Souls. A few villagers escaped before the curse was complete and spread the tale, but no one has been able to find their way in until recently. It appears that the curse is weakening, and a few brave adventurers have been able to venture in. Fewer still have found their way out, telling of the horrors within. Even the trees present a threat, ever watching. The small number that have made it out with their lives describe it as Hellwood’s Cursed Forest.
