The Black Forest

The Black Forest is a place that most tend to be wary of. Vegetation is scarce since the trees here grow in abundance and tend to be close together. The canopies are so thick that very little sunlight is offered to the ground, which is how this forest got it's name. With such low visibility and such a large forest to traverse, it's no surprise why these lands are known for being so deadly. The only break in the denseness of this forest is by the massive river that cuts through the East most area of these lands. The water moves quickly with a current strong enough to drown even the mightiest of shire horses. Many an equine has found themselves lost in this forest, usually dying from starvation; if they're not eaten first. The Black Forest is seeping with danger, from giant bears, to small poisonous snakes. While most avoid these lands, there are those who come here believing they are stronger than Mother Nature herself. Few equines have made it through these lands and lived to tell the tale. Even fewer have come here with the intent to survive. Force-claiming may happen here; that is, if you make it out alive.
