A deep black wound in the Cormanthor forest

about half a day travel from Myth Drannor a deep wound has been torn into the Cormanthor forest in a small formerly peaceful and lush forested vale.

Anyone entering the area would see all Trees and smaller plants, even the tiniest saplings are totally dead. Withered, dried and deadd, only husks of their former Beauty. Those trees that still have their leaves, no bear brown, black and dead leaves who constantly rain down with any wind draft and cover the dead earth.

A total area with a radius of about 3000ft is now totally devoid of all life. a small Pond in the area that was fed by a small stream has dried out. All animals in the area lie dead, their corpses withered husks. Nothing alive remains.

Here and there wander undead through the area, dried husks, attacking aimlessly anyone coming near them.

On the edge of the Area a small encampment of Akh´Velahr Soldiers, among them elven Druids of the City of Song who move through the dead area with a grim and sad look on their face, examining the damage done.



(for RP purposes assume the Water is gone from this pics)



anyone travelling to the area would Encounter wandering Groups of Undead here and there, mainly Ghouls and Ghast prowling the Forest for Food.

As you come near the dead area, you would encounter wandering Undead of dead animals, who are mere husk, dried and withered.

small groups of elven druids move through the area devoid of life, carefully applying blessings and planting seedlings to nuture the forest back to life.

When news of this reaches the lathander farms Elric calls for able knights to join him in destroying the abominable undead.

"Dawnknights of the Aster! The time is nigh for righteous arms to be born in the name of the dawn and our lord. Darkness has tainted the forests and undead abominations have been sighted.

For the Lord of Light!
For all that is good!"



He would head to the forest.
Those of the church who hear the call to arms who choose to follow him can do so.
