In 1121 LE, a few years after Gulfrek Hjard's eldritch giants sacked the Pyramid of Life , they were putting out feelers for some help in a complex ritual. The Lith-Crillion put their own message out warning that any who helped the giants would be an enemy. The only person to respond to the giant's request for aid was Melrith; not yet a Higher Power and thus restricted from such doings. With her help, the giants used the tome Falling Leaves to create an evil variant of the Wood Woad.
While wood woads are powered by Nature Energy, the Dark Woad get their juice from the energy of Dark Nature.
Dark woads are most common in the eastern forests of the Brucrumus mainland, from the eastern forests of the Aerie of Dragons and northward into Miradelgûn and some as far as Ice Cap.
