Some places are best avoided.

It is known from ancient scrolls that it is best to avoid the mountains in the northernmost part of Tir Twaidh. There is no grass growing there, there are no animals, and even birds fly around those places. The scrolls do not say what kind of creature lives there, but the elders briefly mention the huge spider Genoda.

Even in human legends, you can find mentions of her. Several centuries ago, people tried to pass through the northern pass to Tir Twaidh, to the territory of demons, but the troops did not return. The kingdom thought that the demons had killed everyone, but one survivor said that a huge spider lives in the mountains. After that, people began to avoid the pass, and then completely removed it from all maps so that no one would fall into the clutches of the monster.

No one knows how Genoda appeared in the mountains. People believe that she came from the Abyss along with the demons. The Horned Ones are sure that the spider has always been in the mountains, since the creation of the Sphere. But both peoples are equally afraid of her, because Genoda devours all living things that invade her domain. But where is the border of her domain?
