Mournwreald

== Mournwreald ==
Mournwreald is a great forest, which once was a beautiful place, it was blooming and all kinds of floral specimen of Ehb could be found here. It is located past the East Forest, near the Rukkenvahl Chapterhouse. Its greatest landmark is a large tree, at the end of the forest. Mournwreald also was a battlefield, and the battle fought here was a decisive one.
== Crucial changes ==
Around 1260s, Hugh Montbarron went to the forest to fight Jeyne Kassynder in a decisive battle. Jeyne Kassynder summoned powers of her ancestors (probably of one of the Creator Gods) and destroyed the whole Legionnaire army. But the blast she made did not affect only the people; it destroyed the forest, leaving it just a barren wasteland, completely infertile and unable to hold plants on. The great old tree, it’s landmark’ also began slowly withering away, but in-game the large sequoia-like tree can still be spotted.
== Flora ==
=== Until 1260s ===
The flora of the large forest was various, and the species of plants were numerous. The trees, flowers and types of moss and lichen existed on Mourwreald’s grounds with completely intact root system, stalk, and meristem. The plants bloomed annually and safely spread all across the Rukkenvahl Valley.
=== After 1260s ===
Mournwreald is struck by Jeyne’s powers, leading the forest’s flora to dusty remains and to infertility, combined with decaying of a once nutritious soil.
== Fauna ==
=== Until 1260s ===
Much is unknown about the fauna before 1260s, but due to the large in number lakes, it can be said that specimen of fish was present at that time. Probably the vast majority of Arakun spiders also co-existed with other species.
=== After 1260s ===
After the blast Jeyne conducted with the powers of her ancestors, the fauna of Mournwreald meets corruption. Vodyanoi enter the forest’s grounds and spread in number. By the time Legionnaires are sent there again, the vodyanoi appear in different types.
=== After Jeyne’s defeat in the Spire ===
After Jeyne is defeated by the 10th Legion, and when Legionnaires venture to Mournwreald for the second time, the forest meets further corruption. Daevas emerge, and are placed as soldiers to protect an block the way to Corrupted Creator, a summoned, withered, alternated Creator God.
