The Haunters’ Wood, a petrified forest cloaked in eternal shadow, marks the resting place of the Seven Sinners, wizards of singular and cruel power driven from Daqan into the Ru by righteous citizens. Slain by their servants and buried in shallow graves, the wizards defied death, rising up as great and evil oaks. These sentient trees exude darkness, making the wood an ideal hunting ground for the Ru’s predators. Illusions of safe haven conjured by the Seven lure prey, including travelers, into the wood, where their spilled blood can feed the trees. The wealth of the Seven remains, too, tangled about their roots—just waiting for those skilled enough to traverse the midnight forest and battle its many monsters, and then the trees themselves.
