Wakegrave Forest

Wakegrave Forest is a large, cursed forest on the continent Safeev. It used to be part of Pithamos, until the region was cursed by a single elven mage named Ixalia.

Ixalia was seeking vengeance against the whole of elven society. Her father, Deladris, was allegedly framed by the High Senate to take the fall for some shady dealings, and condemned to waste away for the rest of his long life in the Prison of Solitude, never to see the sun or seasons again. Worse, the elven people believed the story, and Ixalia and her family suffered terrible persecution and alienation. On the day Ixalia's mother Nuusrial died of heartbreak, Ixalia vowed to destroy the elven capital and all it stood for. Researching the darkest secrets of annihilation she could find, Ixalia finally stumbled across an incomplete spell from the Age of Corruption named Ultima. After filling in the rest of the spell with her own research notes, Ixalia defiantly strode to the city limits of Itariel, City of the Six Splendors, and began to cast her version of Ultima. Unfortunately, her version of the spell had a large oversight that she couldn't have foreseen. Damning herself and her brethren, Ixalia finished the spell anyway, and by the force of her will, along with a boost of power from Awfhule, a terrible curse came over the land. She didn't destroy the capital: she condemned it and most of the elven forest to exist in an eternal twilight, stark and silent during the day, and rising up as undead at night. No one who enters Wakegrave can easily get back out once they've left sight of the forest's edge, and few can survive a night there. It is always mourned as the greatest loss in elven history.

It is rumored one can reach the Temple of All Gods by travelling in Wakegrave.
