Description
Colossal trees stand before you, like giant sentinels guarding this ancient forest.
Entering the woods is to be embraced by deep shadows. However, the darkness here brings no fear or insecurity. The melodic whisper of the wind among the trees seems to want to tell stories of times immemorial. The sunlight, which occasionally sneaks between the branches and leaves, creates the golden and friendly clearings.
The further you advance towards the heart of the forest, the clearer it becomes that the enormous trunks that surround you, and the intensity of the darkness, have the sole purpose of sheltering and protecting the lives within them.
Bruja villages
Bruja villages are born in glades under theblessing of the sun and the protection of the Shadow Woods’ trees. Consisteng of simple houses made of dark timber, these villages are marked by the delicious aroma of homemade potions filling the air. The foundation of every Bruja village is respect for the forest that surrounds it and the enjoyment of what it has to offer.
