North of the lush Ithilian Forest lies a gray wasteland of petrified wood and bone-chilled air. Once a verdant sanctuary, it is now a necrotic scar ruled by the lich Arast from his obsidian tower. Living goblinoids and undead legions dwell among skeletal trees that slowly creep southward. This cursed domain serves as a staging ground for constant raids against elven borders, sustained by dark sorcery and the remnants of a three-hundred-year-old war.
