Subject: New Hunting Grounds: The Red Forest!

A new set of hunting grounds have been released: the Red Forest!

These level 60-83 hunting grounds contain many dangerous woodland creatures, including: direbears, direwolves, warped tree spirits, the long-lost Ilvari, and the tyrannical treekin!

The forest itself once existed near what is now the Elven village near Wehnimer's Landing, but was banished from Elanthia many years ago during an enchanted lunar alignment, becoming accessible only during the rare repeats of that alignment. However, the recent collision of Elanthia and the Elemental Confluence has unleashed unstable planar energies that disrupted the repeat of the enchanted alignment, tearing the forest from its realm of banishment, and imperfectly placing it back into Elanthia. This imperfect return has resulted in an eerily similar forest also appearing on the Aradhul Road near Ta'Vaalor.

For those who dare to explore this enchanted forest, one must first brave the thick fog that permeates these woods (a Survival/Perception check) and then face the dangerous creatures that lurk within!

Thanks go to GMs Kenstrom and Mazreth for their help on this project!
