The Dark Forest.
The Dark Forest.

The Dark Forest can be accessed through the Wizard Tower in the Fertile Plains once the clienté of the Blaze of Glory Tavern in East Cheswick mentioned it to you. This area is filled with an abundance of special items, making it one of the most important places to explore in terms of items searching. Some of the encounters here are difficult and since it's generally not possible to exit this area freely, heroes should be prepared before entering the dark forest.

In-game description: In these dark woods are found some of the most powerful magics in Ardania, being the home of the Witch King, the Lich Queen, as well as the ruined sites that housed the seven pieces of Brashnard's Sphere of Ultimate Power.
