The Witchwood

The Witchwood is a gloomy place shrouded in fog, hidden from the sun & haunted by a host of angry spirits & stalking beasts. The strange & mystical proeprties of the wood are legendary, for it is home to many secrets; the dens of monsters, sacred groves of witches, lost shrines to the Saints, ancient standing stones & roving communities of Gütter outcasts are but a few of the strange & dangerous wonders of the Witchwood.
