History

According to legend, the the Dreadwood was first encountered by humans during the Great Migrations, when the Suloise noble family of House Malhel attempted to settle there and were never seen again.

In recent times, the kings of Keoland have avoided settling the Dreadwood, for fear of the dangerous creatures and dark secrets which are said to lurk there.
