Mirescar

The Mirescar is an exceptionally dense, corrupted portion of the Verdant Expanse.

Description
The Mirescar is a dark, dense area, with twisted trees and gray moss. Sunlight can barely penetrate the thick canopy. Its corruption alters the animals who enter it, turning them into dire beasts. The forest is also known to be the domain of cruel fey creatures and many-eyed aberrations. Many who have entered it have either disappeared, or have lost their sanity.

History
In ancient times, likely before the Calamity, the region of the Mirescar was once called the Heartwood. The Mirescar has existed within the Verdant Expanse since the forest's original growth.

The cause of the Mirescar's corruption is unknown, though folk tales from Syngorn tell many stories of its potential origin, ranging from the bones of a titan, a curse that was left behind by Lolth during the Calamity, or even a meteor that fell from Ruidus.

Trivia
The Mirescar shares many similarities with the Savalirwood in Wildemount, as both are corrupted forests in elven territory.
