"The stories for how Nectarous Woods came to be simply must be true, because I can honestly not come up with any other explanation for its existence. It baffles me. It's an enigma. A delicious enigma. It's my favorite woods in all the world." - from the memoirs of Lewin Von Treet, Vault: the Land of Stuff and Things
The story goes that a ring of wishing was lost by the high magus of some long forgotten mage conclave on the northern shores of Core Vandal. A shipwreck years later brought the sole survivor, a young girl named Juniper, in contact with the ring and she gained the power of her wildest dreams brought to reality. The legend is that the ring had three wishes and Juniper used two of them.
The first was for a forest completely made of candy and sweets. Everything from the bark on the trees to the rocks on the ground would be edible. And the sweets would never rot your teeth or make you fat. It was surmised that Juniper was a very young child indeed.
The second wish was that the most terrible beast to have ever lived guard the forest so bad guys couldn't get in. However, outside of excluding herself, Juniper made no distinction of what constituted a bad guy.
While most people believe this tale to be too tall for reality, there's no denying that a candy forest does exist on the northern shores of Core Vandal, and those who enter very rarely come out. And those who do speak of a ravenous beast with eyes the color of blood, fangs as long and sharp as spears, and an appetite for the only thing it cannot get in the woods: flesh.
And if both the woods and the beast exist, it stands to reason that the ring does as well. The ring with one last wish left on it. To that end, people traverse the Nectarous Woods looking for the power to grant them their heart's desire. Some say Juniper used up the last wish to give herself eternal life. Some say that once she had the forest, she had no use for anything ever again and the wish remains. Whatever the truth, the woods are both dangerous and dangerously tempting.
