"This strange, hilly land in south Mistone is named the Dire Woods because of a legendary massacre of humans that caused the soil to redden. Once a frenzied and ever-expanding area of chaotic, inexplicable magic, centuries of relative peace have stablized the unpredictable forces, though the weather here remains charged by the old magical field and bears no resemblance to that of the outside world. During its expansion, the Dire Wood's boundaries were marked by black, petrified trees."
Hence, keep it as is.
