Dark Woods

The Dark Woods is a forest located within the central portion of The Headlands and stretches into each of the three regions of the area. The region is vastly unexplored due to heavy superstition over the area and folklore that states devils and witches as well as all manners of evil creatures infest the forest. While unproven for the most part, one of the denizen's forests from the folklore have been proven, the deadly Dread Lurkers that dredge through most of the forest are very real.

The area houses an old dirt and cobblestone paved road, but years of disrepair and the threat of Dread Lurker attacks have left them often untraveled; despite the fact that they are possibly the quickest routes through the major settlements of the Headlands.

The area is the home to several notable points, such as Blackfall Reach on the outskirts and the Monastery of the Silent Crow deep within, a reclusive monastery of priests. The area is also said to house one of the few remaining packs of wolves within Gilneas. They are said to be white furred wolves that the locals of the area have named Lunar Hounds.
