Lore
A place of darkness, fog, and an ominous cold presence that can only be felt deep in the bones. The trees are black, twisted, and gnarled, and many are covered in an unreasonable amount of thorns. In stark contrast to Hedge Wizard Wood, the natural world of the Thorn seems to have turned against the people of the Runiverse, and danger sits behind every blackened tree, waiting to grab lone travelers.
The air is damp and heavy, and every rustling leaf sends dread into the hearts of those who dare enter. An eerie silence pervades, though an occasional distant moan, mewling wolf, or screeching terror of some poor beast in pain punctuates the horrible silence. The songs of birds have not been heard in the forest for ages.
Though this place has a foreboding reputation, there are some who claim these horrors are wildly exaggerated and say The Thorn is largely harmless. The Goblins of Goblin Town in the south come here often to hunt and gather wood. The wood from the Thorn is highly prized for it's durability and is often used for tools and weapons.
Some Wizards allege that the nearby presence of The Quantum Shadow to the southeast has influenced the woods comprising The Thorn, turning it to what it is today. Others argue that it is the Vamypre Mist to the northeast that is to blame; in reality, both locations likely have some form of linkage to The Thorn. Some ancient Fey beings claim that the Thorn was part of The Fey before it was turned—other inhabitants of the Runiverse are divided on whether they should be believed.
Some travelers to The Thorn claim that the temperature drops by several degrees when entering from another region. Many debate whether this change in temperature is truly physical or if it occurs only in the mind of the traveler.
