Rafernard's Forest

A forest about 25 miles southeast of Altaruk in an area previously known to be sand dunes. This was the destination of the numerous and strange Pilgrims.

The being calling itself Rafernard claims to have created the forest as a first step on the path to restoring Athas. Rafernard was revealed to be a disguise of Abalach-Re and the entire forest was a lure for the pilgrims to fuel her transformation into a Dragon.

The forest contains a central plaza where a Tree of Life was found intertwined with a ruined tower. The tree was destroyed and tower transformed into a during Abalach-Re’s metamorphosis. Beneath the tower, now buried by rubble and ash, is a pyramid structure.
