How many of you arguing here were actually present during the Forming of
the Darkenwood?
The Darkenwood was formed from Twilight's Essence.
A shadow had fallen over the Forests of Sapience.
The Shadow was gathered and harnessed to create a new forest of shadows,
formed entirely from Twilight's essence.
The Darkenwood belongs to what sadly passes for Twilight's order these
days.
Twilight has the same claim to it that He might have to His hand if it
had been stricken from His wrist. Though His touch would be rotting and
useless, it would still be _His_ hand.
