The Lore of Druid Shigenjo of the Wood

Shigenjo is a malevolent trickster residing in the thick forest of the Hedge Wizard Wood. He spends most of his afternoons feasting on the poisonous purple mushrooms found on the twisting canopy and his nights entertaining his Tengu friends with advanced illusionary magic. The Tengu’s hyena-like cackles can be heard throughout the night by passersby.

When traipsing the forest's edge, Shigenjo scoffs at sorcerers en-route to Blue Wizard Bastion. Shigenjo views their academic pursuits as a pretentious thin veil hiding their weak magic. He lures them into the dense trees with illusions of overturned staged coaches and footprints. He then entraps them and humiliates them by stripping them of their weapons and feasting on their familiar before their eyes.

Although he almost certainly releases adult wizards after his feast, many children have been lost in the Wood, never to be seen again. If you ask him, Shigenjo will deny any culpability, asserting that he himself was a child when he ascended into godliness. Yet skepticism remains, as the disappearances began at the same time he made the forest his residence.
