Portage Woods

You are here Home  > Miscellaneous >  Portage Woods

These woods are known by locals to be the home of the ancient gnomes. Beware coming here at night, glowing eyes follow you throughout these woods. Heavy sightings are seen on the other side of the river, just over the railway bridge.
