Line 25:
''Aldergrove Forest'', or simply ''Aldergrove'', is a sentient forest in Aivintian legend. The forest itself is a dense woodland located north of Hagen, untouched by the many lumber operations in the wilder regions of Aivintis. Legend suggests that every tree, bush, animal, and insect is part of one single mind, the ancient spirit of the forest itself. The tales suggest that the roots of every plant are connected, and thus part of the same, huge tree, whose spirit has grown sentience with age, and speaks in rhyme and riddle. The animals that feed off of these plants' berries and leaves become connected to the mind as well, prone to suggestion. It is said that lost souls within the forest are guided back by the shifting plant and helpful animals, but that hunters, lumberjacks, and anyone looking to disturb the peace or destroy even a branch of the Aldergrove is met with hordes of animals and fire ants, while the forest shifts to trap them with their doom.
