Nebuchadnezzar
First Post
The Forest of White Shadows, located north of Ecliptea, is one of the most dangerous forests in the Broken Lands. Ever since the War of Fiends, the forest has been a sanctuary for devils and demons alike. The fiends have brought the eternal conflict between their respective races with them to the forest. The forest is now (and has been for a long time) a battleground between demons and devils. All the creatures of the forest have sided with either the demons or the devils, including a group of evil druids who call themselves the Claws of Eavyra. These druids have awakened all the animals of the forest, using them as servants and soldiers. This makes the forest as bizarre as it is dangerous. The forest has twisted the minds of the animals, rendering them insane and hateful of people from the outside (as they call any man not of the forest). At first the animals keep themselves hidden from visitors. They then begin to whisper amongst themselves, sharing taunts and mocking the outsiders. The birds of the forest are especially infamous for their cruelty. They poke out the eyes of weary travelers who have fallen asleep and cackle taunts so spiteful they could unnerve a demon.
The forest's name stems from sightings of strange creatures appearing as white shadows. These creatures only dwell in the heart of the forest, and never venture outside of it. They communicate with shrieking sounds, a horrible cacophony which often resonates across the forest. It is known that they are masters of illusion magic, and that their illusions are impervious to true seeing and similar spells of divination. Adventurers claiming to have encountered white shadows spread the most outlandish rumours in inns and taverns across the Broken Lands. There isn't really a reason to believe that they sacrifice children and babies to ancient gods of evil, but it never fails to impress the ladies.
