Prologue
A helpless fishing village home to a peaceful group of people of the land rests at the mouth of the River Avon. Once the place to go for fresh fish, it has fallen on hard times since the event. However with the coming of spring, the monster attacks from the sea have grown worse and worse with each passing week. The Elders of this Village whisper of an ancient temple on the a nearby island. No knowledge, no history, not even a trace of a temple exists. However the Elders whisper terrifying story to those who will listen. Once revered for it's beauty in an age long lost and forgotten, many would travel here and stand in awe of the exotic plants that graced the island, they would travel to the center and in the midst those of a pure heart would be shown the way to the Euphresia, a wonderous construct built long about by a race that no longer inhabits the island, a city of flowers. It is said that Euphresia held within it at it's core a most sacred plant. This plant was no ordinary one for within it contained a soul of something lost, something ancient and powerful. If one could pass the trials of Euphresia provided, they would be gifted the dew that graced it's leaves and it is this dew that can heal almost any wound and refresh any soul or so the legend goes.
Long ago however a sorceress learning of this plant, seeking this power for herself managed to trick the temple, once inside she sought to control the plant however instead her black heart corrupted the plant, it's beautiful petals withered and it's long graceful vines became thorns and vines. The sorceress tried to control the plant and take from it what scared magic was left within it. But she was soon over powered, unable to fight it. But as it's vines wrapped around her body and thorns tore into her skin, it is said that the sorceress cursed the island with her last breath so all plants on the island would would consume any animal, any living creature that set foot on the island. It is said that the city of Eupherisa turned black that day. Since that day not a soul of a lander has ever stepped on the island made it back. It is said that the soul of the sorceress still lingers within Euphersia, guarding the plant from any that may make it through. Many believe that this temple is the cause of their attacks. Before the change in the world, many Adventurer would cross the ocean to the Island. It was said that if they were strong enough, they would find riches beyond any lander's dreams there. Recently a young exploration team was sent to investigate. “Was it ever real? Everything was so strange, I was dwarfed by plants, the flora and the fauna were literally trying to kill me…" That was the last words a dying member of the team managed before he past.

Euphresia is a fantastical new dungeon of dreamlike wonders, a wondrous first for Entertales and we are pleased to bring it to the Unfounded Kingdom. Step onto the island to find yourself lost in a sea of colour. Traverse the jungle of mushrooms and flowers, face the beautiful yet poisonous creations that reside there. You may or may not be able to tell what's harmless and whats not. Are those flowers pretty? Or are they trying to bring an end to your adventures once and for all? Should you feel strong enough to brave through such things that could only be in a dream, you will eventually face the ruler of this would be nightmare – The Queen of Thorns, Cordellia. It is said that she is very powerful, but that she keeps precious rare artifacts and weapons; only those able to defeat her may discover these treasures. The dungeon is designed for beginner to mid range players looking for excitement and a challenge.
Dungeon Particularities
All monsters are aggravated.
All monsters are plant based with effects to mimic plant life such as stun, sleep etc.
In the center lies a great temple entirely made up of plants and somewhere inside stands Cordellia, a monstrous humanoid plant hybrid waiting for her next victim.
The layout of this dungeon is quite simple, consisting of a great castle made entirely of plants inside players must navigate it and successfully solve it's riddles and the riddle keepers to unlock the throne room where Cordellia and the remains of a once beautiful plant remain. The real task is defeating an entire island of monsters ready to consume you.
Dungeon Drops
Pretty open with regards to dungeon drops, I was hoping for some guidelines or suggestions for items, I was thinking all items gained from here would either be plant based or have plant based effects.
The Quest
A Lander arrives in Londinium from this port village seeking strong able bodied adventurers to save his village from the constant attacks it now suffers from. He speculates that the water based monsters that normal leave his village alone are attack his village in order to escape becoming prey of this long forgotten island. If the adventurers agree to help, they will be brought to his village where they will set off on a quest to stop the happenings on the island before it upsets the balance of nature.
The area of this dungeon is fully flexible and can be changed to suit the forums needs.
