The '''Aalen Forest''' lies west of the [[Vashnar Mountains]]. Once a mighty redwood forest and the racial home of the [[Tsol'aa]], the Aalen has since become a shadow of its great glory. | |||
As the [[Dreikathi]] pursued their invasion upon the continent, they rained a brilliant purple sludge upon the | |||
Aalen and the surrounding mountains. Even after they were driven from the lands, the sludge remained for many | |||
years. Its presence on the forest was far from benign; mutating the creatures in horrifying ways and causing | |||
them to sprout additional heads, legs and filling them with a bloodlust that could not be restrained. | |||
[[Haern]] finally extended His hand towards the forest - literally. Calling upon [[Dendara|Dendaric]] spirits, he cut his | |||
palm and placed it upon the Aalen's ground. Though at a great cost to His powers and the forest's ebbing | |||
fertility, the sludge was destroyed. | |||
Though the sludge and its terrifying effects were gone, another danger was born as sprouts of red flowers | |||
began to crop up in the forest. As they bloomed, they spouted deadly pollen which poisoned and eventually | |||
killed anyone who came near them. | |||
These flowers have begun to die with time, but not before completing the destruction of the Aalen. Where | |||
animals once meandered amid the powerful redwoods, now only ashes scorched tree trunks and the wilting remains | |||
of those odd red flowers lie. The natural life, and the Tsol'aa who inhabited the forest, are not to be found. | |||
