	The history of Holy Wood is very little known. It is apparent that there was a city there at some point, built around a rift in the fabric of reality (according to student wizard and moving picture star [[Victor Tugelbend]]). The rift seemed to be linked to the [[Dungeon Dimensions]], and in a pre-emptive defence (or indeed, sheer bloody-mindedness) the [[Gods]] drowned the city. This is usually explained as the anger of the Gods.		The history of Holy Wood is very little known.
