The Shadow Falls

A prominent landmark within the enchanted forest, resting far to its western edges near the borders of Idia. Said to be visited by all manner of ethereal beings, the shadow falls are viewed as a place of both danger and reflection.

Beauty, Fear, and Rumors
At first glance the clearing surrounding the falls seems quite tranquil. You can feel ancient spirits around you, the vegetation is always green and the sky blue. The falls coalesce over the steep cliff-face which seems to exist only here, ascending towards the skies despite a lack of elevation anywhere nearby. The locals believe that this place is for forgetting and starting over again, steeped with magicks that assist in calming the soul.

How much of this is true is up to speculation, and there are often levels of disagreeance amongst those who preport to tell the lore of the place and those who have walked along its paths. Tales are told in whisperes when adventurers speak of the falls, tales of men and women disappearing from the falls, dragged into the blackened depths of the large lake into which it pools at the base. Some claim sentient spirits protect the place from intrusion, while others believe that something much more sinister lurks within the water's touch.

The Tree of Eleias
At the base of the Shadow falls, growing atop a eight foot tall boulder, the Tree of Eleias is the veritable center of magic in the Enchanted Forest. Its leaves are comprised of a living crystal, and they all glow a different color, but together the leaves give off a white glow. The leaves, in and of themselves, are storied magical artifacts, able to concentrate and manipulate magical energies around he or she that holds it.
