The Aberrant Forest
The Aberrant Forest is a weird and grotesque woodland, likely a direct result of the reality-warping energies released during The Great Disaster.
A Violation of Natural Law
Nothing that lives within this forest is as nature intended. The environment is characterized by bizarre phenomena:
- Flora: Plants and trees grow to immense proportions or become impossibly gnarled and twisted, heedless of natural law.
- Hydrology: Murky streams have been observed flowing uphill, and stagnant ponds occasionally migrate slowly across the landscape.
- Terrain: At times, the very ground undulates as if it were a living organism.
The Legacy of Rodinn
The forest was once home to the mad wizard Rodinn. [^1]
- The Tower: Local legends speak of a leaning tower hidden deep within the woods where Rodinn performed his most dangerous experiments.
- The Disaster: Some scholars believe Rodinn’s tampering with the laws of nature was the catalyst that triggered The Great Disaster.
[^1]: Even centuries after his disappearance, his presence is felt in the lingering magical distortions that plague the region.
