The ghostly timber curse is a fascinating and haunting phenomenon that has been reported in various forests around the world. It involves the presence of ghostly or spectral timber, which appears to be paranormal in nature. Witnesses of the ghostly timber curse have described seeing trees that appear transparent or translucent, sometimes emitting an eerie glow. These spectral trees seem to move and sway in an otherworldly manner, even when there is no wind. Such sightings have often been associated with feelings of unease, fear, and a sense of being watched. The curse is said to bring misfortune and tragedy to those who encounter it.
The answer is Warcraft 3, or more specifically its expansion The Frozen Throne. This is more than a little biased on my part, as it absolutely arises from this being the point at which this whole thing became a world and not a bunch of comedic dipshits killing each other on my screen. I think the argument that it is the emotional core of what every single disappointment that anybody ever expresses with World of Warcraft’s endless miserable story beats is sound though. You see, Warcraft 3 took the series in a sort of strange direction by lifting the leveling up and gear acquiring heroes of their own Diablo (also every RPG ever) series and making them a central mechanic to their new RTS game. To thirteen year old me, at least, this was really out there and exciting; it not only directly led to the creation of game types based around controlling just those heroes (DotA) but also arguably it is what inspired the creation of WoW to begin with (the experimental RPG orc campaign an obvious bridge). More than that though, it made the story about its characters instead of having those characters just be maniacal excuses for big battles to happen. A lot of missions didn’t even feature RTS base building and resource racing gameplay at all.
Jaina Proudmoore went from being a figure that was heroic because she wanted to repair the wounds of the past to being a violent crazy figure bent on revenge for the bombing of a tower. There are also, I believe, an inordinate number of people who went insane in this area, as well as people who simply vanished that are in addition to those who are documented here.
The curse is said to bring misfortune and tragedy to those who encounter it. Many legends and stories revolve around individuals who have witnessed the ghostly timber and subsequently faced a series of unfortunate events, such as accidents, illness, or death. It is believed that these spectral trees are a warning or omen of impending doom.

The origins of the ghostly timber curse remain mysterious and steeped in superstition. Some believe that it is the result of restless spirits or malevolent entities inhabiting the trees, while others attribute it to a natural phenomenon that is yet to be explained scientifically. While skeptics argue that these sightings can be attributed to optical illusions or hallucinations, many people genuinely believe in the existence of the ghostly timber curse. In some cultures, specific rituals or offerings are made to appease the spirits or entities associated with the cursed trees, in the hopes of averting their wrath. Given the lack of scientific evidence and the subjective nature of these sightings, it is challenging to determine whether the ghostly timber curse is real or merely a product of folklore and belief. Regardless, it remains a compelling and eerie phenomenon that continues to captivate the human imagination..
