Other than the Black Forest, what is your favorite mythic forest setting in the Rhine Tribunal? What has the most potential for stories, because of it's interesting history, local legends, curious terrain, political machinations in 1220-1240, etc.
I've never really delved into Medieval Germany, and only have the Rhine Tribunal book as a starting point. I've figured out a nice story arc for a new solo saga that I'll be running, but now want to shoehorn it into a "real" forest setting. I'm pretty much open to any locale.
I invite your suggestions of locations to look into.
A region in the east of Germany/in Poland known for people crafting magic. It is said that these people sold their soul for their magic ability. A dark forest area in these days ... If you are interested in dark, remote stories ... here you are!
Funny...Brocken or Blocksberg is well known in Danish mythology. Although probably the more mordern mythology than ArM.
At midsummer at St. Hans Eve on 23rd of june we light huge bonfires (ideally with trimmings from hedges and gardens) and burn an effegy of a witch. She is said to fly off on her broom to Blocksberg Usuallu the witch is fitted with fireworks called "witch's screams" which make a howling sound.
Odd how we include in our culture a mountain very far from out country...
