I think this is interesting. I think the Black Shroud has the most unique areas. There are the white trees, the glowing tree, trees with birdhouses, cliffs, ponds, lakes, streams, bridges, etc. The problem is that it's so hard to get around in the Black Shroud that no one explores enough to find those areas.

I'd like to see the maze-like qualities cleared, and the Black Shroud become more open. I just always assumed it was intentional, to recreate the feeling of getting turned around and lost in a forest. I'm just not sure that benefit is enough to justify the inconvenience.
