2.(The story behind the area)<->Where it all began...long ago when the founding great elves came to kantele, they planted the seed for a great monument to this new world.They wanted a lasting statue of greatness to remain behind when there energies would be expired and they left this great land.This one tiny seed grew to become what was once known as the Nymph Tree.This tree stood for many years while the great town around it thrived and grew to be a great city.The nymph tree itself was heard about across the land as the greatest being that nature herself ever created.The tree was so large, it blocked out the sky above the city, and the trunk of the tree spread almost as wide as the great city did. People never questioned the thought of the land beyond the tree,and for years it went without thought.One day, a stranger came calling upon the great elf city.This lone man had traveled many miles to reach the great land to lay his eyes upon the marvel of the great tree itself, for he knew the tree held great potential. Unknown to the elves of the city this stranger brought with him chaos and darkness, an evil none had ever encountered before.He knew when he laid eyes upon the tree it would be he who would extract the powers it held.So one night, while the elf city slept, he ventured out towards nature's greatest achievement, and before dawn, he slaughtered it taking in all it's glory and wealth. Before the town awoke to the suns blessed rays he was gone like a thief in the night, never to be heard from again.The towns people awoke and where in shock, there great monument to the world had been destroyed!They wept for there beloved tree, they mourned for weeks at it's untimely death.Time passed...nature changed the earth around the great elf city, and many elves moved on from the land.Many survivors of time remained in there homes, living there lives one day at a time not paying mind to the history about them.One day there came upon the great elf city a disease.The living things around the city began to die off, people began to fade away or vanish with no clues left to where they might of went.The few scattered people of the city gathered to hear there great leader at what once was the Nymph tree.He told them all he had found something new..something unclean in there city and he wished to show them all!He turned and pointed towards the roots of the Nymph tree, and hidden deep within could be seen a lone tomb stone.It had cracked and faded due to times grasp on it, but it still remained, a beacon in the gnarled and decayed undergrowth.The leader of the town told his people he found a path behind the Tomb stone, a path to a dark and unholy place where great evil had been sleeping.He described to his people of a large graveyard lost to the world and forgotten by time.The towns people where in shock. Their could be no way something so evil could be planted next to something that was once so great.Two days later the leader of the town perished with an unknown illness.Soon the whole town faded away, and became over run by monster and over growth.Soon adventures came to the town and found the tomb stone.They spoke between themselves of untold treasure that might be hidden away beneath the earth's dark depths.They began to dig and one of them fell against the marble slab.His action caused the slab to slide back revealing a hidden stair way.The adventures looked down the dark stair and began there decent........-Your journey begins here.You decide your fate. Shall you go on, or remain behind afraid of the unknown....that choice...is yours...-

Due to alot of players who have already seen everything Nightmist has to offer i believe this area will provide new challenges and give players a taste of new items to trade or tinker with themselves.This is a decently spaced area that players can enjoy if it be by themeslves on Multi or a party of friends on 1A.(If the character base increases enough for it to go to 1A)There are alot of challengeing areas, twists and turns, and little gadgets ot move about to get to the required goal.
