The Mannic Woods are an eerie, overgrown wilderness, their towering trees entwined with the ruins of a long-dead empire. Here, beneath the moss-covered stones of Tol Mannic, the once-great capital of the Ssthessic Vrasa, the bones of history lie undisturbed. The marble streets are now tangled with roots, their grand archways collapsed into heaps of ivy-choked rubble.

Though few dare to enter the woods, stories persist of ghostly figures glimpsed among the ruins, their scaled forms flickering in the half-light. Scholars and treasure seekers alike have ventured into the depths of Tol Mannic, hoping to uncover lost relics of the serpent-folk, but many have never returned, swallowed by the silent tomb the forest has become.
