In the Runiverse
The Thorn is located in the central part of the known Runiverse. It is part of the trio of forests located in the central Runiverse, the other two being The Fey and Hedge Wizard Wood.
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, any 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, a 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 the Thorn is largely harmless. The Goblins of Goblintown in the south come here often to hunt and gather wood. In fact the wood from the Thorn is highly prized for it's durability, and is often used for tools and weapons.
Forgotten Runiverse Game
The Thorn is located at (x, y) in the game.
Theories
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 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, but 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; although whether this is truly a physical change, or perhaps only in the mind of the traveler, is debatable.
The Thorn is known as one of the locations in the known Runiverse where Forgotten Souls may be found.
