Redshade Grove
The site of many dark and bloody rituals, Redshade Grove is a cursed forest visited only by the most macabre practioners of magic or morbid adventurers. Said to be haunted by past victims slain here and home to bloodthirsty plant life, not many dare enter, and none stay long if they do.
Localized Phenomena
Floating lights that are said to be the spirits of slain ritual and murder victims dance along the branches during the night, and are rumored to lead unwary passerby to their death or misfortune. The flora within have a dangerous taste for blood, and many have mutated to have toothy vines or some other way of attack in order to fulfill their cravings.
Natural Resources
Bloodbark - Weapons made from the bark of larger trees deep inside Redshade Grove retain some of the life-drinking properties related to vampiric creatures.
History
During a lunar eclipse, a coven of powerful witches held a mass sacrifice in name to the Vampire Lord Strixen Lunaris for his powerful blessing. They succeeded in their attempt, and he granted their coven vampiric powers. However, this powerful surge of magic tainted the forest, causing the flora to also retain some of his vampiric nature.
