## Mercy Woods

The Mercy Woods are an expansive system of forests, they once were beautiful with many flowering trees and fruits. Full of vibrant life and the beautiful singing of birds. It was protected by the High Elf, Teria Ardeia, who had called it home for over 600 years.

In recent times the woods have become violent and cruel, the trees kill and there are rumors they eat those who sleep beneath them. The animals are horrible abominations; wolves with three heads, giant spiders and basilisks. The tribe of elves who once called the forest home with Teria have become vile beasts. Few escaped the horrible mutations brought on by the Necromancer Zraughor, and those who did now live in shame within the walls of Medela.

## Mercy Chapel & Graveyard

Located just outside Mercy woods all the deceased from Medela are buried here in pride, even travellers who fail to survive Seymour's care. Mercy chapel is the church of Medela. As the city grew, the church was worked upon but never altered. As a result is is small and large ceremonies are often stretched out the front door. The graveyard has a built up area for the people of medals, but also holds a second field for those who have passed in Seymour hospital without a name or known home location.
