Night Trees

The Night Trees were two small forests located between Moonwood and Cold Wood.

Description
These dark and silent woodlands were avoided by dwarves, elves, humans and orcs, since an ancient evil power hovered in the dark under the foliage. Many cruel plant monsters infested the woods, such as assassin vines, dark trees, shambling mounds and tendriculoses.

History
The Night Trees were defended by an evil druid known as Slaker Tree, who often placed insidious traps to catch intruders. When Tree Slaker captured someone he usually bound the victim to a nearby tree and drained the blood out of the victim to satisfy the dark and thirsty spirits of the forest. During the past years, Slaker Tree had gathered some acolytes, druids and wicked rangers eager to sacrifice creatures to please their master. In the northern area of the forest stood a mysterious square tower covered by vines. According to legends there was an ancient temple dedicated to Chauntea that has been corrupted by the evil presence of the Night trees. Adventurers who tried to reach the tower met monsters plant and Slaker Tree on their way.
