The Forest of Illusions is a dark harbor of legends and mystery
It is an ancient forest poisoned by grief and hatred
But--it is said--this was not always so.
stumbled upon the forest and awakened its shriveled heart from its long, murderous sorrow. It begged him to stay
Years later, he fell in battle and awoke to find himself in the Forest of Illusions
