Dark Wilds

The dark wilds, north of the Broken Bay and west of the Valar Mountain Range, lies far from civilization.
The forest is quiet, not a sound is heard from within if standing on the tree border. When walking within the sound is captured, nothing but the heavy breathing of companions can be heard. To begin with.
As time is spent within the wilds the sound of trees moving begins to sound eerie, otherworldly even. As more progress is made, deeper the silence reaches until only ones own heart beat is heard. Travelers begin to lose balance, as the footfall of their own boots becomes distant.
Once the heart of the forest takes over a group, the Brothers of Slaughter make their move.
