Several travellers, journeying to and from the Ranger's Vale have stated a bad feeling in that portion of the woods. Almost as if it was haunted. Some, while deep in their cups at the local inn were even going so far as to state that they were seeing strange shapes and shadows creeping within the trees. Others argue the fact and say it's a mist clinging only to certain high branches.
All agree however, that something in the woods has changed, and most definately for the worst.
