Forbidden Forest

Hunted by Hellhands. A kingdom wanting their heads. An ancient forest few enter, let alone survive.

After the disastrous heist and the guild's fall, Darius makes a fateful decision: to heed the seer's prophecy and return to Vlencia. With few other options, that means braving a peril he vowed to never face again: The Forbidden Forest.

This vast woodland contains little sunlight, few safe passages, and ominous entities that lurk its depths waiting to claim trespassers. Darius and his few remaining allies must overcome these lethal challenges and more if they hope to prevent the return of a dark force that threatens the fractured realm of Estos.

With Elron's elite forces bearing down on Darius' only sanctuary, he hatches a desperate plan. Failure promises death at King Jefor's hand or the horrors waiting within the forest's depths.

Will they survive the harrowing journey south?
