Suicide Forest

Right on the outskirts of The Stranglehold, between the city and God's Peak, there is a large expanse of trees, mostly made up pines and evergreens. The entire floor is covered in thick layers pine needles, leaves, tree branches, and moss-covered rocks, there is no exposed ground anywhere in the entire expanse of the forest. It is extremely quiet, there being hardly any wildlife that makes a home here. Those that do not know the forest would call it peaceful, but when one travels deeper into the forest and discovers the dark secrets it hides, they know why it is so silent. During the downward spiraling economy, and even more after the Moscow Downing Virus was at its peak, people would come to the forest and hang themselves from the trees. Now, the entire forest is littered with skeletons and belongings of the people that ended their lives along with the occasional new suicide. Rumors spread like wildfire about the angry spirits of those that killed themselves and how they've been disrespected after their deaths. For those that are not superstitious or faint of heart, it's packed with easy meals, if you're lucky enough to beat others there. However, if you are a bit more frightened, it may be a more difficult task to face your fears and enter the Suicide Forest.
