Mathrazd

Mathrazd was a Miouran nation that had fallen away, consumed by the forest, over a century prior to the ritual. By the time that the ritual came to pass, Mathrazd was merely an overgrown forest constricting the ruins that were once there. Following its fall, it became difficult to find anything on Mathrazd, as very few records made it out of Mathrazd prior to its demise, and the nation was so isolationist that it rarely interacted with outsiders. What is known about Mathrazd is primarily through an old record allegedly written by a Mathrazdic individual who fled to Ores with their family when their "Druid-King" (whose name is not mentioned by the record) began enlisting children to fight the losing war against Shekzard. The Druid-King of Mathrazd had a plan to turn the tides of war in Mathrazd's favor:
The children of Mathrazd were consumed by toxic spores through forced castings of druidic spells beyond their might, and their corpses became an impenetrable wall that the Shekzardic soldiers could not cross. Mathrazd seemed to be safe for a time, but of course, the people were incited to rebellion against their brutal Druid-King for killing so many to save the country. It was said in the record that the spirits of the murdered children rose up and became one with the bountiful, fertile lands of Mathrazd, and the forest consumed the Druid-King and anyone who was in it.
The author of this record was the Druid-King's own daughter, Aria of the Trees, who had inadvertently suggested the idea to her father and lost two of her three children to his deranged scheme, fleeing with her husband and their sole surviving infant son to Ores in order to escape what was about to unfold.
She wrote pleading for forgiveness, and she also wrote that wherever she went outside, when the wind blew through the trees...
She heard the laughter of children.
