«Once upon a time there was a lord of those in eternal search for profit. He was consumed by envy over the successes of other nobles, owners of ore mines, fertile fields and valuable forests, but all the rich lands in his region were already divided among exploiters of nature like him.
The lord did not want to retreat and equipped a campaign to distant lands, hoping to find a wild area rich in resources. After long months of travel, already almost desperate, his detachment came across a forest so dense and high that not a single ray of light broke through its crowns. The tree species was of the rarest beauty and strength, and with any attempt to cut the branches in order to go deeper, the trees grew back.
Rejoiced that he had found an inexhaustible source of first-class wood, the lord and his companions decided to go deep into the forest at all costs. After stubborn hours of brandishing swords and axes, they still managed to get through the impenetrable curtain, when suddenly strange blobs of light began to appear on the branches here and there. Bewitched by the mysterious glow, people walked forward, not noticing how their feet were beginning to get stuck in the viscous soil. Stronger and stronger with every step, until their peaceful faces completely disappeared into the abyss.
Since then, many have tried to storm the impenetrable forests with a variety of goals, but only a few have returned to tell this story».
