You push on through thorns and clamber over thick roots. You can barely breathe the cloying air, and darkness is everywhere. You have never seen the Deepwood like this before. The trees seem to pulse and ooze amber ichor, and cysts dot the land like pustules on a bloated corpse. Before you, the ground abruptly drops away, and the view opens up onto a large ravine. Gaping in the mountainside like a dark, festering wound is the cave from your vision. A fifty foot gash cleft into the rock. You instantly know that you have reached your destination, the Deepwood's center. You have arrived at the Heart of Darkness.
