It was rumored that the legendary battle between Magus Stratford and Morven the Malevolent was so fierce that it shook the very foundation of the region, reshaping the vast landscape.
The battle raged on for several days and nights.
Morven had brought an army of monsters to fight alongside him. Whereas, Magus Stratford was all by himself. Yet, despite being outnumbered, he had managed to deal with all the monsters in Morven's army.
Legend has it, that with a mighty spell, Magus Stratford had turned Morven's minions into wailing trees. According to the townsfolk, this was how the Weeping Woods came to be.
It was passed down from generation to generation that the dark woods were a place of great evil. That the reason why the trees constantly wail in agony was because of the remnants of the monsters that were sealed inside of them by Magus Stratford.
And now, the Weeping Woods had come alive at this very moment!
