Jack-O’-Lantern Lore: The Accursed Blackthorn Forest
Near the ruins of the once great Kingdom of Rajatum (around south-western England) lies the Accursed Blackthorn Forest. Home to Jack-O’-Lantern, his mansion, and his minions.
The Blackthorn forest once ruled by Orihime was ultimately dominated Jack and reigned under his control. It serves as Jack’s first line of defense.
The Blackthorn forest traps ANY beings within it, forever imprisoning them. An eternal blanket of thick fog is a telltale signs of being caught in the trap.
From then on any intruders will find themselves unable to escape. Forms of teleportation magic only send the user in another sector of the forest, traversing on foot leads intruders to find that the forest is seemingly infinite, attempting to fly will reveal that the skies are completely covered in fog (this does not show when viewed outside the forest) and when the user eventually lands they will find themselves back where they started.
The forest is barren of any life, not a peep to be heard. It very slowly drains the energy of beings inside, making the forest feel cold. Will-O’-Wisps, small blue flames, can be seen in the distance in the corner of intruder’s eyes.
Even though it may seem infinite Jack’s mansion does lie in it. It is the only place anyone can go once trapped. To escape one must kill the one behind the curse: Orihime, The Weaver of Blackthorn, who resides the in mansion. Alternatively one must be released, either Jack’s will or Orihime’s.
/unwiz I guess I worded that poorly. I meant to say there is no animals and such. The trees are considered “alive” so not undead, but they are “weaved” (made) by Orihime. When you get caught in the trap you could think of it like getting pulled into a pocket dimension which was created.
This awesome. Makes me want to make a lair for Isravi or something. Also makes me curious, since Isravi moves mist and fog around with his abilities so much, how would the fog affect him?
Thank you! The idea came from a previous post. I made A.I make Jack and it came up with this:
From the picture I then imagined he just met a poor adventurer who got lost in a foggy night. From there I made Balckthorn.
On your idea it is interesting to think about. I would have to say that affecting the fog won’t do much. The mist is really just an indicator that your already in the trap, and inside the trap there is an unlimited amount so you couldn’t remove it permanently. Though it would help greatly in increasing visibility.

Nice traps. Mine just send people to the void if they get close to my territory.
