A luxuriant bed of fresh mosses, crushed wet ferns, calamus, lichen, light woods, and disturbed leaves.
Moss Maidens were wild women of the Forest Folk who were known for seducing hunters and charcoal burners. If a Moss Maiden was pleased with the lovemaking, she would charm a hunter's weapons never to miss or keep a fire burning all night to allow a charcoal burner to sleep. Members of the Wild Hunt were favored prey of the beautiful Moss Maidens, who often took Huntsmen as their ghostly lovers.
