Amiraen Forest

A huge forest right by the school that stretches for miles upon miles. The first mile or so in is fairly safe.. But beyond that, when the foliage thickens, the paths and sunlight vanish, and strange wails are heard echoing in the darkness.. Students are forbidden to venture into this part of the forest without a desginated guide with the proper training to protect them. Within the dark side of the woods, there are one or two landmarks among the confusing twists of bramble. There's a huge, black, bottomless lake at one point, with mysterious creatures of both good and bane lurking within. At another location, an old, somewhat small-looking cemetary rests. The headstones are centuries old and crumbling, enscriptions barely legible. Yet now and then a new grave will be added, though nobody knows why or by who.
