The Abyssal Woods, also known as the Abyss, is a sub-region of Scadu Altus.
Overview
Below the rest of the Realm of Shadow, hidden under a sprawling canopy that blots out the light of the sky, a thick swampy woodland corrupted by Madness. Jori, the elder Hornsent Inquisitor, guards the entrance to the area at the end of the Darklight Catacombs.
The forest is forbidden by the Hornsent, as is the frenzied flame contained within.[1][2] The woods are so harrowing that even Torrent refuses to be summoned out of fear.[3] Messages on the ground warn about beings lurking in the woods, creatures that cannot be touched and can kill one with a glance.
In the heart of the woods sits the ruined manse of Sage Midra.
The Abyssal Woods can only be accessed by navigating through the Darklight Catacombs at the terminus of the Recluses' River.
Messages Left in the Woods
A series of messages has been left in the forest, along the path to Midra's Manse.
