Lost Paths

Flora and fauna, unlike anywhere else, reach as far as the eye can see. A land of dark whimsy, one of magic and mayhem, lies just below the surface of a place known simply as wonderland, but the darkness marks this place as something else —a place unlike any that one would willingly enter. This place and its inhabitants play by their own rules, ignoring everything established elsewhere in the world. This twisted place is another plane, removed from the world we know, but playing by the rules of ancient beings that once walked the grounds of Isekai.  

The Lost Paths should have stayed just that, a lost path that no one should walk unless blessed by whatever Ancient Fey or wandering fiend that possesses that twisted land.

  The Lost Paths are the underworld of the Wandering Forest, places that are the inverses of the world known as Isekai. Both the Lost Paths and Wandering Forest are separate planes of existence, but ones that are easily reached through gateways and doors scattered across Isekai by the Ancient Fey that once walked Isekai before they moved to create their own realms. These places are bounded by magic, defined by the Ancient Fey and the rules they have inflicted upon their territories. There is little rhyme or reason here; the Wandering Forest is a bright wonderland, while the Lost Paths are a place of dark and twisted whimsy.   While some Scholars and Adventurers have traveled through the Wandering Forest and studied the various life there, the Lost Paths are almost wholly unexplored. Being the inverse of Káto, the Lost Paths is full of deep caverns, wandering hallways, and dark caves that create labyrinths over thousands of miles. Few have ever entered this place of their own free will; most were tricked by some magic and twisted sense of humor. Those who have entered the Lost Paths rarely ever leave, as those who claim this place as their territory do not take kindly to trespassers.
