Blood Hallows

Sylvania is a land with an ill-fortuned past, a place of where dark magics collect and pool, turning all to evil. Yet in the forbidding countryside, a wooded grove known as Blood Hallow is especially dreaded, for it marks an epicentre of the Tempest of Death. That black and infernal hellstorm whirled and lashed the surrounding lands during the times of the Wars of the Vampire Counts. Some say the storm was created by the unleashed souls of Vlad and Isabella von Carstein cursing the world for one last time after their final deaths; others cite a massive spell gone wrong by the desperate cabal of necromancers who were recklessly trying to reverse their battle fortunes by raising yet more Undead. Whatever the cause, a storm of untold fury spun mysteriously over the hallows, draining the life from all within its terrible confines. under its sick clouds the dead rose up and for days terror held sway. Entire villages disappeared, hulking creatures emerged and a large shadow with enormous bat wings was seen to circle in the glowering clouds. When the storm finally lifted, it left behind a barren and stripped land, save for a grove of gnarled trees where hung the skeletons of innumerable dead. To this day this region is held as especially cursed, contaminated far beyond the tolerance of even the hardiest of Sylvanian stock. There prowl moving forests of blood-sucking trees, carrion birds of unusual size and an over-riding gloom which blinds all who enter.
