Spooky Forest

The spooky forest is a phenomenon that began very shortly after the beginning of the campaign for unknown reasons.

Description
When an area of forest is under the effects of this phenomenon, the trees begin to wither and die, and the fauna begins to mutate. The land itself seems to feed off of fear. In addition, illusion magic cast in this terrain has a chance of becoming real.

History
The party's first encounter with the spooky forest phenomenon was a small patch of it on their journey from Serin to Nelune. They ran into a pixie and a satyr fighting off an illusioned creature that the pixie had cast as a practical joke.

Later, on their journey to Miru, they ran into a much larger expanse of the terrain, where they figured out its effects on illusions and promptly abused the mechanic. Newru, the K'lones, and Nami's children were created during this time. When the party reached the area with the Shadowfell portal, they discovered that objects created by illusion dissipate when leaving the environment.

The large patch of spooky forest ended shortly before Miru.
