Savalirwood

The  is a cursed forest in the Greying Wildlands, historically known as the "Veluthil Forest". The once-green vegetation is now a greyish purple ashen color. The source of its life and its color is very unnatural.

Description
The south Savalirwood is almost beautiful, but it has a decaying sense to its meeting of grey and purple. It seems deprived of life but not of wildlife, with some of which it has a symbiotic relationship. It is dangerous, and the deeper in, the more dangerous it gets. When Caduceus sees his Light spell's brightness gradually diminished in the King's Cage, he recalls that a similar phenomenon happens in the depths of the Savalirwood.

History
The was historically known as Veluthil before the corruption of Molaesmyr and the rest of the forest. It has been cursed for many centuries. The source of this was most likely a biological weapon created by the city of Aeor used on the people of Molaesmyr.

The superstition and mythology around it has allowed the city of Shadycreek Run to prevent the Dwendalian Empire's encroachment by using it as a defensive position against incursions. Eventually the Empire just gave up, and let the region stay independent.

The skull of Jourrael was entrusted to the elves of Veluthil.
