The Forest of Loss takes those who it touches, hollows them out, and sends them back as monstrous husks to unknown ends.
However, there are a select few that emerge, not unchanged, but still themselves. There was something within them that could not be broken, could not be snuffed out, by the full force of Loss.
This change grants the Forest Touched power over life, and the flow of life, in a symbiotic relationship with the seed of the Forest inside themselves.
Their powers are greatest when within the Forest or its bounds.
