What the Party Knows
- Pre-campaign rumor: the Blight's source lies deep in the forest.
- Session 008: Runs with Bitches confirms the Sons and Daughters of Vlokgar are encamped here. They differentiate two types of Blight (necromantic, growth/rebirth) — implying both manifest in or near the forest.
- Session 014: Goblins are operating along the route between the High Road and the Kryptgarden — a goblin / Cragmaw remnant network. Bree mentions a statue of Lynx (a legendary druid) at the forest entrance.
- Session 015 (Teppo's journal): "Kryptgarden — Blight and the Children of Vlokgar — too dangerous."
