"AN ENDLESS SEA OF BLACK SHRUBS AND BRANCHES SPROUTED ON THE BURIED REMAINS OF A CREATURE OF OLD."
Now on the rare occasion that anyone remembers the old stories about it, the thought of a forest being more than a dark hole, at which edges we scrape to fuel our stoves, is quickly extinguished.
Nobody has ever properly mapped it. There is no tall vantage point, no wide clearings, no straight paths. It would be impossible. Non the less, people tried... and instead, brought back strange plants.
Close to it a lord had made it his business to capitalise on trading these.
That lord died yesterday ...

IN NEED OF EXTRA HANDS:
Steward Huggle does not really understand his lords sudden change and suspects the worst from the vicar.
He now needs someone to keep an eye on the vicar, while the people of Tue Manor transport the coffin of their lord into the forest.
That someone is you...
