Estir Woods

The Estir Woods, or in Fallonese Y Prewwen Estyr (The Dark Woodland) were a neck of haunted woods in The Fallo, full of strange creatures and sentient mushrooms. 
A few decades before the year 0, the Fallonese goddess-aspect of nature, Mielikki, was struck down by Hazirawn wielded by Wajilaran in the woods, forever tainting them with the last vestiges of her power. As she tried to re-manifest, the blade's corruption seeped through her consciousness into the woods, turning them from once verdant to haunted and afeared. For generations, the Fallonese people knew to be wary of the forest's beasts. It should be noted that unlike the Forest of Firth, the woods themselves were not alive or a hivemind, nor particularly special; it was just they were home to monstrous abominations and corrupted versions of things. Firth on the other hand was like nature but turned up to 11, with seemingly sentient vines and ravaging bears; Estir was like bears with blackened eyes and inky tentacles bursting from their mouth.
