Why did the trees grow to impossible heights, their trunks wide enough to house families, their roots twisting deep into the earth like ancient serpents? Why did the beasts here swell to monstrous proportions, far surpassing the strength and size of their kin found beyond the forest's edge?
Countless expedition forces had entered with confidence and numbers, only to be swallowed whole, erased without even the courtesy of wreckage.
Eventually, the lords ceased sending men into its depths. Maps were redrawn, not with ambition, but with caution, and the wilderness was left to itself.
