In the heart of Bleakwoode lies a great source of magic. It is rumored to make the trees grow to incredible heights, and to grow dark, move in close to each other, and shut out the light. Foul creatures dwell in the everlasting night they create. The power of perverse creation is so strong in Bleakwoode that some say souls are born in that place- empty, hateful souls. Natives of Valhalla will avoid spending the night in the forests of Bleakewoode at all costs. They warn the foolhardy and the ignorant to beware the Shades of Bleakwoode.
