There is a small town called Malister which is ruled by the local mage who the town is named after. Malister is a neutral necromancer who is slowly drifting towards evil. When the town was created there was much wildlife. Now everything has died over the many years. There is also a forest south of the city that is said to drive wizards mad. There is a lot of logging that happen there but recently loggers have been disappearing. The forest seems to be immune to the "disease" that has affected all other wildlife 10mile radius of the small town. DM's note: Of coarse the magic that Malister practices draws its necromatic energy from the surrounding life. The forest is of a wild magic zone and the logger are being captured by wood elves! I had many adventurers with this set up. email me back for full details.
