The forest bring many benefits to its inhabitants : fruits, game, roots or birds. The rempart of trees and moss-covered ruins protected this small community for centuries until the forest itself became its malevolent attacker. Roots spring from the wells, blocking them. Toxic mushrooms grow from the slate roofs, exsuding maddening spore clouds that veil the mind and break the body. Its victims' skin turns into bark, its flesh rots from the inside... Until the host dessicates and collapses lifeless on the soft ground. The little village cannot overcome such a threat. Bodies linger in the street at the mercy of rats. What caused this plague ? What malefice corrupted the heart of the woods ?
