This gloomy, unsettling forest is beautiful in a dark sort of way.

The trees are black as coal, and are very tall. Their thick, knotted

branches twist every which way so that they appear to be contorted in

pain, though this is surely not the case. The leaves are a dark green,

and are nearly as thick as leather. This part of the forest has not

seen many travelers as it is deep within the forest, far from anything

civilized. The stench of ancient evil is very thick in the air.
