Mournwood is a broad haunted timberland of pine forests, cold lakes, and old logging roads. Settlements cling to shorelines, river bends, and raised ground, leaving much of the interior wild and half-remembered. Magic is practical here, spoken in exacting charms, oath-rites, and relic work that often functions best when phrased wrong. The region feels busy at the edges, lonely at the center, and always one lie away from danger.
