Scorched Grove

Centuries ago, the area known as the Scorched Grove was once a lush forest of calm meadows and peaceful glades in the Summer Court. Then, a massive forest fire that swept through the Grove and reduced it to a smoldering, ashen plain. The Grove refused to heal. Stranger still, the soil beneath the ashen steppes still smolders with embers.
The air here carries a supernatural heat which can exhaust travelers or even cause burns depending on its fierceness. This hostile landscape is home to a variety of curious fire-aspected creatures. Certain species, now considered native to the fey, only appeared after the massive forest fire.

History

Accounts of the great blaze have been recorded in feywild’s history books, but the exact cause of the forest fire remains a mystery. The soils of the Grove were tested and found to be distinctively suited to channeling evocation energy, especially when used with fire spells.
Whatever its origins, the fire devastated the area and displaced thousands of beasts and people from their homes.
