Black Forest.
About this band of forest located on the southern slope of the Dark Mountain Range, adjacent to the wasteland, countless versions of legends circulate among the people of Anzu. For instance, every tree in the forest is said to be transformed from victims who failed to escape the wasteland, or that beneath the Black Forest lies a passage to a chaotic world, or that the Black Forest itself is actually a vast, evil-intelligent monster perpetually encroaching on the civilized world to complete the job that the chaotic wave could not finish by utterly destroying the world mortals created...
But Gawain knew the birth of the Black Forest was not that complicated.
It was once nothing more than an ordinary dense forest, situated on the Gondor Empire's border, merely blocking the mountains and wastelands in the north.
The power of chaotic magic was what turned a harmless and bountiful forest into today's forbidden zone of life.
