The Carpathian Forest

The Carpathian Forest is an enormous forest that covers large swathes of Carpathia. It is largely unexplored, owing to the overwhelming presence of fey within. Hordes of Wild Things come slithering out of the darkness beneath those cursed trees, and all laws of nature are forfeit at the hands of thirsting gods. The name of the woods has long since been forgotten, and it is held that any who utter its name will draw the attention of its denizens to his homestead.

Environment
The Carpathian Forest is made up of seemingly endless trees. Its landscape is shaped by the Wild Things that live there, and so the woods themselves are ever-changing. One could walk in a straight line for what seems like mere minutes, and yet never find the way back. Its twisting wooden corridors are dim and shadowed, owing to immense trees covered in moss and lichen. These trees are old and withered, frail due to the lack of sunlight entering the woods. There is little life in terms of plants or animals for the very same reason, and the forest floor consists mostly of stones and rotting bark. Beneath the canopy, these woods are ever changing. It is no place for mortal Men.

Inhabitants
The Carpathian Forest is home to no mortal creatures. Even the trees themselves have become twisted and bent at the hands of the things in the woods. Wild Things walk unchallenged, brazenly mocking the natural order of things.
