The trees of Felwood were half-dead, exuding an eerie gray decay and an air of death.
This sinister, unsettling forest was hardly a good place.
Even the Furbolgs, who held considerable power in Felwood, hunted and patrolled in groups.
The demons hiding in unknown places were formidable enemies that posed a serious threat.
Without thorough preparations, even the Night Elves would not venture into Felwood.
Yet the camp at the border between Ashenvale and Felwood had now become quite lively.
The Night Elves had built this camp in just one week.
First, they brought over relatively regularly shaped stones and simply piled them into walls.
Then Druids planted vines with tough stems to climb over them.
The vines bound the stones tightly, keeping them from easily coming loose from the walls and forming a compact whole.
Just like that, a defensive wall of boulders and vines was easily completed.
Though it stood only a little over ten meters tall, it could withstand low-intensity sieges.
High on the trunks of the great trees behind the wall, sturdy, simple houses had been built, making excellent firing platforms.
Night Elf archers were stationed on them, watching the surroundings.
The slightest disturbance would draw their attention.
If enemies actually appeared, their longbows, with their exceptionally heavy draw weight, would loose deadly arrows.
