Woods

The sprawling estate of Elemental Manor is surrounded on several sides by a magnificent, ancient woodland, within which grow such a wide and wonderful mix of trees and plants that would make Carl von Linné himself squeal with delight and demand a packed lunch since he'll be here for quite a long time, thank you. Locals have harvested hazel for their wattle fences, cut down mighty oaks for the monarch's shipyards and foraged for fruit and fungi for countless generations in these woods. A local delicacy is giant bilberries that grow downstream of the Manor.

Visitors to the woods should ignore the idle gossip of local villagers with their fanciful tales of carnivorous trees, talking badgers that lead wanderers astray and odd chemical smells. The Professor assures everyone that he disposes of hazardous substances in a responsible and legal manner, i.e. down the drain with lots of water.
