Deep in the forests of the Hartshorn

A spiritual disease afflicting the animals and plants sends them into a murderous rage, and the buried dead become unquiet. The local people cry out for aid.

It is difficult to follow the cause. Aelfrham's connection to Fey spirits is the only thing that lets the party find their way to a place called the Whorlwood, that defies physical or temporal measurements and is filled with the magic of the land, where leylines converge and the Feywild leaks through.

At such a nexus in the heart of the Whorlwood, something dark wormed it's way in. Aelfrham's spirits show the path.

Revealed to be a mind flayer, using dark arts to create a lair at the nexus and squamous alchemy to poison the land's energy for an unknown purpose - although, after defeating it, visions of a gargantuan brain oppress the heroes' minds for a fleeting instant.
