The Weeping Woods

The Weeping Woods is a sparse forest located in the south of the Whiteroots. It is believed by the nearby Gnimwerm tribe that the native trees there are thirsty for the souls of the cursed children of the tribe, specifically the 13th child of each generation. According to the tribe's tradition, the cured child was to be placed at the roots of a tree in these woods, where it is absored deep into the bark of the tree, and is trapped for all eternity.
