So uh... The Stifling Pines is another worldbuilding project of mine that is completely unrelated to the Arcage. To put it simply, it's this vast forest that's rumored to be cursed or haunted due to the... strange phenomena and ominous residents. That being mimics, living terrain, disembodied voices, walking trees that will eat you, vaguely avian abominations that will tackle you from the canopy, and countless other horrors beyond human comprehension. What's strange (aside from the nightmares listed above) is that there's a civilization here; a small village of people who learned to go unnoticed, as well as a trade outpost. Lmk if ya'll wanna know more about it, I'd like to have more people to yap to :,)
Thanks to @CakedUpFinn's project "Somniphobia" for the instruments used here. The environment for the cover is off Google images, I just added the creature and glinting eyes in there. :3
