The High Forest

Set in a hollowed-out market square, the runway twists through a serpentine path of gnarled roots and vines, dynamically changing layout under eerie, luminescent lighting from phosphorescent fungi and will-o'-the-wisps. Surrounded by grotesquely warped tree trunks and carnivorous plants that dangle from overhead branches, the venue exudes a sinister ambiance. Models, either captured adventurers or bewitched woodland creatures, showcase eerie natural ensembles, like cloaks of live ravens or gowns of whispering leaves. The atmosphere is heavy with the intoxicating scents of toxic blooms, adding a disorienting layer to the spectacle. Chaotic events such as rainstorms or swarms of glowing insects unpredictably alter the runway's conditions. Audience seats, grown from bone and entwined with vines, are part of the interactive setting, where spectators are immersed in the haunting show, experiencing fantastical or nightmarish visions as part of Morgwaeth’s twisted theatrics.

Local Marketplace: A series of covered stalls now rotting and collapsed, the once vibrant market is a ghost of its past, with scattered goods and faded fabrics flapping in the breezy silence. An air of desolation hangs over the abandoned trade goods.
