The Bramble

Not much is known about the Bramble. It is a small area of the Lorewood, near the town of Tarn where normal trees give way to wild bushes of thorns and brambles. These bushes reach up to 12 ft high and are nearly impassible. A small winding path leads through the patch, but where it leads to is still a mystery.   If one inspects the area carefully, in bright sunlight, one can barely make out a stone ruin deep within the area of briars, completely overgrown by thorny vines.   Within the bramble, near the ruined old tower is a strange circle of runes that glows with a greenish light.     The Bramble is off limits to the inhabitants of Tarn, by order of the Sherrif. Every year one or two brave fools try to explore the narrow path and wind up poisened by the dangerous plants. While most survive, the days of pain and sickness are enough to deterr most.   There is a rumor, a secret known by all adults, that once a year, during the Wishlight Festival, the youths leaving the village have a secretive meeting with Terrin which ends with a trip to the Bramble.
