Red Mist Village
The remains of a village to the west of Tuskwater Lake. While relatively modest, it still had a respectable population of Fey and non-Fey.
One of the elderly residents, upset that his daughter was engaged to a Satyr, cursed the villagers for their acceptance of the Fey, and the Fey for there interference. Nyrissa promised him that mortals and Fey would never live together in the village. The old man gave coins to friends and family as was the village tradition, but they had Will-o'-wisps attached. During the wedding, a Scythe Tree appeared, cutting down the villagers who tried to fight it and poisoning the rest. Its purple and red swirling toxic mist engulfed the town. At the same time, Cherry's corresponding village in the First World fell into ruin.
Only a few residents escaped, including Cherry and Falchos. The survivors returned more than a century later with allies, killed the malevolent tree, buried the remains of the villagers, and returned the cursed coins to the ghost of the man who caused the curse. The only current resident is Ol' Beldame, who has lived for decades in a cottage on the outskirts of the village.
