Von Helson Forest

The first rumor I stumbled upon was one that spoke of a mysterious elk roaming the dark forests surrounding the Von Helsons' Manor on dark, misty nights. Witnesses claim to have seen an imposing, elk-like silhouette with glowing eyes forming out of the menacing shadows and thick fog enshrouding the entire forests in a menacing blanket of impending doom. Alas, very little evidence can be brought up to attest to this rumor as most witnesses either passed out from fright or ran off screaming at the mere sight of the evidently imposing and fearsome vision that is now believed by many to be Lord Carl's then juvenile physique.

Fortunately, there is hope as such an origin would mean that dark powers were in fact responsible for His Elkness' propensity for violence as well as the soul-stealing effect of his enlightened glare. The perpetual yellowy glow of said stare could evidently also be explained by these supernatural origins, as we all know that strange happening are regularly sighted in these forest by brave explorers eager to make a name for themselves. This humble servant of the truth personally think that something in these forests is turning the wildlife into superior beings and that Lord Carl, being the strongest and wisest of these beings, decided that such supremacy was worthy of devoted followers.
