c.1065 TA- Greenwood
Far from the walls of the palace, a shadow had descended. It had send the Spiders that had so terrified the elves of Greenwood. It was intent on sending more. They would all be punished for what they had done to it. The shadow stirred.
Something needed to change.
The elves were far too at ease. He had felt their fear when he sent Spiders to haunt them. Now they were learning how to deal with Spiders. They did not fear them like they once did. And the trees, those pesky trees, were far too connected with their masters to fall to him. At least they were now. The shadow could change that. He could corrupt anything. He had even corrupted the woodland king in the past age, he could then corrupt the trees. After all, the king's power was barely felt this south.
So the shadow began to seep itself into the woods around the fortress. He did it slowly. Do anything quickly and they would notice. Do it slowly and it will be too late for them to do anything by the time they notice. Besides, Greenwood was small. This was just a temporary place to rest, to gain strength. He had other plans.
Men were strong, after all, but some of them were very weak.
