“Excerpts from the potions and ingredients grimoire of ______”

• Entry No. 211 — The Laughing Forest

• Northern Bassanq, former village of Vask

The villagers of Vask developed a cosmetic compound capable of permanently tinting human hair green. The potion remained popular for approximately four years.

Records indicate the compound accumulated within the body. Early symptoms included bark-like skin lesions, reduced mobility, and spontaneous root formation. The final stage appears irreversible.

The village no longer exists.

Travelers report that some trees within the forest respond to physical stimulation with sounds resembling human laughter.
