 The Hallowed Wood (RP)
|
Nestled deep within the land lies the cedar forest. Within wonderful and terrible things happen.
The Hallowed Wood is separate from the normal world. It, with other worlds, exists on a different plane. You can only enter, or exit it via hidden portals.
Legend says the Gods built this place. It is predominately cedar; the tree of the Gods. Once, the place carried names such as Dilmun in some tongues and Eden in others. Some cataclysmic event happened, however and the Gods left this paradise. Their human slaves took over its care, learning magic and other wondrous things from what was left behind. But, no one could have foreseen the rise of evil within paradise.
Demons came to power, enslaving man once again. They used monstrous beasts to do their bidding. These creatures served as their jailors, spies and warriors. The magic within the demons was powerful and they controlled even those who did not wish it. These humanoids (part human, part something else), used violence and black magic to gain and hold their power.
As is always the case, however, a small faction of rebels live under the demons' radar. They live deep within caves and have cut out small cities for themselves. They still remember the magic of their forefathers and have retained some of the technologies. These people are awaiting the one who will bring them out of hiding, free them from the demons, and allow them to rule once again.
Prophecy foretells of one who will bear a mark. This saviour will bring about a change in the land. There will be great strife and dying. But, in the end, peace and freedom shall be bestowed upon mankind once again.
