The West Woods

Created by Draz

The West Woods form a vast and foreboding wilderness that stretches far beyond the urbanized regions of the nearby city, where the boundary between civilization and primal nature grows increasingly blurred with each passing mile. This ancient forest is dominated by towering pine and oak trees that have stood for centuries, their dense canopy blocking out much of the sunlight and creating an perpetually shadowed realm below. Those who venture into these woods with innocent intentions—seeking outdoor recreation or a brief respite from city life—often find themselves woefully unprepared for the genuine perils that lurk among the towering timber and undergrowth. The primary threat comes from the werewolf packs that have made these forests their territory, creatures that have claimed dominion over the deepest regions where human civilization holds no sway. Most notorious among these beasts is Tara, a black werewolf of legendary reputation who actively hunts human prey, deliberately luring unsuspecting visitors from the city into the forest's darkest corners before pursuing them as sport. Her victims are rarely recovered, as the forest's vastness ensures that their remains vanish into the wilderness, untouched by rescue or investigation. The danger is so profound that even vampires—creatures typically fearless in their supernatural might—deliberately avoid these woods entirely, recognizing a threat beyond their capacity to overcome. Experienced hunters and trackers have learned through hard-won wisdom that entering the West Woods requires not just skill and preparation, but also the safety of numbers, as traveling alone is considered a death sentence.
