Compared to the other areas of Ghur, the Fangwood is almost innocuous. The land itself does not seek to devour the settlers. While monsters still roam the forest, you would be hard pressed to find anywhere in Ghur where they do not.
Instead what makes the Fangwood special is the trees themselves. From a distance, they look peaceful as their white-barked branches sway and red leaves float along the wind. But on closer inspection, the marrow veins of the trees are seen and the ossified woods make themselves seen.
While not malicious, the roots of the Fangwood drink up the blood spilt along the Hungering Steppe. Each droplet suffusing them with the power of Ghur and over the centuries, they have been transformed.
Instead of wood, these trees are made of ringed plates of bone. Their leaves are crimson fronds of meat, ripe for the picking. As the trees are cut down, they spray their attackers with blood.
Those who settle here and persevere through the horrendous appearance of the trees can enjoy the marrow found within, even if they can’t quite place the flavor of it.
