Everything is slick. Stone is no longer grey; it is carpeted in velvet-black lichen and a species of glowing violet fungi known as "Ghost-Lanterns," which feed on the residual mana of the ruins.
At the heart of the forest lies the primary ruin—a massive, Gothic-style structure that has been literally inhaled by the earth.
Massive stone pillars, once reinforced with gold filigree, are now being crushed by the grip of ancient, white roots. Some roots have grown through the stone, shattering statues of forgotten saints into unrecognizable gravel.
