Ok I changed things around so there is hopefuly no confusion with the Jungle of Perils, I like Forest of Rust better than Blood Forest any way.
The damage done by Axis to the forest is continuos, their heavy industry continues to pollute the local enviroment, making it very hard for the forest to recover, then of course there are the four Towers, one rumour is that they are sucking what life is left out of the forest.
