[Bonus Poll] What is going on with The Blackleaf Forest?
🕑 Added 2019-02-13 00:14:09 +0000 UTCSince we've been focusing on the Blackleaf Forest region of Enombath's Ninth Kingdom, we've learned a lot of interesting things.
For one, there's a lot of traditionally "evil" races that call this place their home. Goblins, bugbears, hobgoblins, medusas, vampir, weretigers, and even zombie-like creatures called cordies greatly outnumber the other humanoid races.
Also, we know that the leaves on the trees of the forest are totally black. But why?
I turned to Instagram for some ideas and sorted through the 10 best ideas. Then, I added them to this poll below. You get one vote and it ends tomorrow evening around this time.
I'm interested to see what you all come up with!

I feel like Dead god is too epic for a forest, it would make sense for a mountain or even a whole continent to be above a dead god, but a forest seems a bit underwhelming. A world scar would be cool, I imagine a dwarven bartender speaking with a thick accent late into the night with a group of adventurers telling them of the very cut in reality only a days ride from town. "It may only be legend," He says sitting behind his self poured ale. "But dark things come from those woods."

Yeah, they're all pretty good hooks. Really tough to pick

I voted Parallel Dimension, and I'd like to advocate for you to do the same. IF Blackleaf Forest swapped as suggested, then at some point a gateway could link players to the "Good" forest where they would have a World of Evil to take on. THEY would be hunted, outlawed, all the challenges of being the bad guys, without having to play evil characters. Hero/Villains, if you will. I've used this idea before, and it's a nice change of pace in a heroic campaign to let the players sow thier oats occasionally.
