"It is said that in the darkest woods, there still lives the women of the trees. They ruled most of this land, before us younger races decided to take this place as uninhabited. Stories spread of camps being wiped out in the middle of the night, and of friends attacking friends. These dark witches, with skin the same as trees, they could take control of a man and force him to do their vile bidding. The men and dwarves and even the elves of the time fought the dark women of the woods, for they resisted parley. The elves, of course, owing to their woodwork made it farther, and met their queen. Yeah, that's right, there was a queen in those woods. Maybe still is. And she had dominion over every plant and creature that stepped through it. This is the reason I've turned down every job I've ever heard was anywhere near that dark place, none of them paid well enough for me to risk my life so foolishly, just for a bit of coin. Orcs, goblins, kobolds, heck, even drakes, I'll take on, but not something that can control all the plants surrounding you."
