10.2.4 GLOMDORING COMMUNE, THE HEART OF DARKNESS

Across the southeastern hills stretches a sprawling and foreboding forest, a place where darkness dwells and nightmares manifest. Those who venture past its borders uninvited return shaken, mumbling incoherently of shadowy horrors, twisted fae, and monsters of thorn and soil. This is the Glomdoring, the Forest of No Mercy. Weakness and stagnation are anathema to even the forest itself, and three guilds have arisen from the dark wood, consuming and supplanting all that came before: the Auguries, the Swarm, and the Thornwatch. Beneath the watchful eyes of the Great Spirits Crow and Mother Night, the loyal residents of Glomdoring are united in their relentless pursuit of a singular goal: to spread the glory of the wyrden forest throughout the Basin.
