This forest is dark and gloomy. It is both protected and haunted at the same time. The Shadow of the Forest, the fabled "Fox Spirit", is said to protect the forest with all her luster and strength. But, the forest is blackened and choked by awakened spirites of the dead and a group of evil creatures known as cannibals. They lurk about, dragging anything that moves into their network of caves before devouring them whole.
