Darkwood (Dark Fey)
Dark Elves with their goblin serfs have ruled this wood since the dawn. Weakened by wars they have become decadent and lazy and adventurers have begun raiding them. Dark elf defences are crumbling, their goblins and monsters have run wild too long. They may even consider trading with humans not just tormenting them. But most think humans are apish cattle that only mimic free will and culture.

There is a gate to the dark faery under realm inside the great Dawn Blackthorn tree in the Elf Kings Throne Grove. The Dark elf court dwells seasonally in these woods in winter and autumn. Many giant tree forts and towers and monsters keep mortals at bay. Many large animals dwell here, with evil tempers. There are evil sprites, brownies, dwarves, nymphs, dryads, gnomes and pixies aplenty too. Goblins in the dark fey lands are not just on the borders or in the service of nobles, they are everywhere busily working and serving elves. The are part of the society but the lowest caste. Dark elves use beastmen, undead, goblinoids and orcs in their armies with many monsters.

People mistake dark elves as enemies or bright elves but nothing is further from the truth. They are kin and more likely to turn blind eyes to each other or ignore each other but they have united against enemies in the past. The bright elves practice slavery, eugenics and magical surgery on human slaves to make new creatures and think of themselves as gardners on lesser races. Dark elves are more into torture and curses but dabble in slavery and surgery. Dark fey deal with human cults more and might even deal with demons and devils and compete with them for cultists. They welcome cultists to meet  in their lands. Dark Elves regard themselves the persecutors of the lesser races. They reduce the weak and keep survivors strong. Their job is to hamper and sicken and abuse lesser beings to keep their numbers modest and healthy.

They have utterly failed with humans and orcs populations and their folksy and sadistic pranks don't seem to cut it the last 3000 years. So dark elves are considering changes in their approach to dealing with humans. Turning orcs and giants on humanity have been in most of their schemes world wide the last century. Collecting offerings so farmers don't get dark elf pranks is a common racket and this seems not to bother empires and kingdoms. Dark elves have seriously under estimated humans and how they have changed.

Forbidden Forest Update

Altered the preamble a bit

Forbidden Forest (Bright Fey Forest)
Humans are not welcome here - non human fey, goblins, elves and magical animals dwell here. Many are good or neutral even the goblins. There is evil here but as part of a balance not for humans to comprehend. Also some sylvan and faerie beings are capricious or think of humans are dumb animals.

Some guests like druids and cults are given permission to be here with documents from a noble or the king like a letter or passport. Some are given passwords, phrases and signs to be able to pass.

The humans have built a great Lodge where unicorn hunters from around the world visit. Unicorn hunting is now illegal but outlaws still hunt them. Wild men here are green fur covered primitives rather than cavemen who are mostly naked or clothe themselves in leaves or furs..

d100 Magical Forest Canopy Encounters

This is for things that happen invisible to ground level. When you climb into the canopy you are in another world. Or into the boughs of a magical other worldly tree. I intend to develop a magic woodland and elfland campaign lines later in the year and a compilation on everything so far for my patreon shortly. Inspired by the wood between worlds or william morris ripped by cs lewis, myths like the norse world tree and a diet of uk fairy stories including the magic faraway tree. Probably mythago wood too. Will work on a few new forest things this month.

d10 Treetop Terrain Paths
1 Trunk - climb up using good hand and footholds surface with branches
2 Branch jumping - hop across some gaps in path or fall or use safety ropes
3 Branch walkways - long straight paths connecting treetop terrain types
4 Skylit Branch - breaks through canopy and can see other trees or clouds or sky
5 Steep thin path with good hand holds goes around the trunk
6 Pleasant winding path with branches forming a rail around the trunk
7 Mushroomy branches - dark area where fungus thrives popular with goblins
8 Grassy branches - where grass grows and animals like bunnies and deer graze
9 Bushy thick growth - good for lairs and easier for smaller size creatures to cross
10 Inside Trunk - winding stairs, complexes and even houses or elevators inside

Return to the Ghostwood

This has been taking a while as I keep expanding it. The mystery of the lost kingdom and why the curse is for later when players uncover in game.

Revising table as was doing only d40 back then so first 40 entries a repeat from
Enchanted woods encounters

Bonus loot and hazard and mystery tables.

As players made a cool 30k cash Im sure will return. While treasure to be found encounters tend to be deadlier and magical.

Ghost Woods (Plague Doomed Lands)
Once a thriving plane of cultivated land, a necrotic plague killed all and the forest reclaimed it all in a supernaturally fast time period.

Remains of old homes, villages, towns and farms are everywhere, some haunted, some mass graves of sleeping undead. Goblins are most common living sentient but ogres and hobgoblins do alright too. Lost ruined villages shrouded by webs full of tiny spiders and the occasional magical giant one.

Roumours are possibly true stories heard in taverns
Challenges are obstacles that get in parties way but could be avoided
Mysteries are things that beg the question or add sense of mystery
Encounters are active foes looking for trouble
