Forests of Caliban

The forests of Caliban are an ancient and sprawling wilderness, cloaked in perpetual shadow beneath towering, gnarled trees whose canopies blot out the sun. Mist clings to the earth, weaving through dense undergrowth filled with thorned vines, bioluminescent fungi, and deadly flora that lure the unwary to their doom. The air carries an eerie stillness, broken only by faint whispers that drift through the branches, as if the forest itself is alive and watching. Those who wander too deep speak of paths that twist back on themselves, landmarks that vanish, and an unsettling sense that they are never alone.

Hidden within the gloom are creatures of primal terror—massive wolves with glowing eyes, winged predators, and ancient guardians of bark and bone—all striking without warning from the shadows. The deeper reaches conceal forgotten ruins, overgrown and shrouded in mystery, holding secrets of a lost age. For the people of Caliban, the forest is both a lifeline and a nightmare, providing rare resources while threatening their very existence. Settlements like Thornhaven stand as fragile bastions of safety, their walls the last defense against the endless dark beyond.
