Home to hag covens, fiends that made it through portals from Inferno, and all manner of horrifying creatures, Nachtskog is a deadly place and its savage progeny often rush forth to attack the Great Wall. With gnarled branches black against the sky, Nachtskog’s World- Tree is a twisted and hideous facsimile of the lifegiving world-trees found in other nations. Like the World-Trees in Muskshir and on the border of Sozein and Tafunga, this World-Tree’s roots connect back to the original World-Tree: Starborea in Doshairiel. | ||
