This forest used to be pretty normal. It was a bit more out in the open than others and had a minor trading system going on with some humans, which was tentative at best. The unstable alliance collapsed and the guardian was killed. With the guardian dead, but the trees still present, decay and chaos took roots and great mushrooms replaced the old trees. It is now full of horrific beasts and stumble about the mushrooms. Most of the monsters in there are covered in parasitic mushroom, and dark sludge made from pure chaos drips down from the fungi, ready to corrupt and twist any foolish enough to set foot inside this place.
