Location from Pale by Wildbow
The first Path — a wild forest trail where a Wolf pursues runners and Miss escaped from prolonged binding, where Avery learned that running from something is running toward something else.
The Forest Ribbon Trail is where Avery first ran a Path, and where Miss escaped from prolonged binding. It contains a Wolf — a pursuer entity that chases runners, turning the Path into a test of speed and nerve. The trail is an entry point for Finders: survive it, and you've proven you can navigate the Paths. Get caught, and you become part of the forest's story.
A forest trail that ribbons through impossible geography — trees that shouldn't grow together, light that comes from no visible source, and a persistent sense of being followed. The trail's aesthetic is 'fairy tale forest, unedited' — beautiful and dangerous in equal measure.
