Nature Runs Wild
A Nature Mage attempting an experiment with a growth spell appears to have suffered an accident. The details of it aren’t entirely known, but the spell appears to have corrupted her and caused her to proclaim her rule over a certain section of the Fayren forest. Anyone that enters that section has been attacked and several have been killed.
The section that she has proclaimed hers appears to be slowly growing, leading people to wonder if it will ever stop. The Nature Mage has created various constructs in the forest that attack people. It appears to be a type of illusion magic as when a construct is defeated, it bursts into a pile of leaves. But investigators can't be too sure. They are still dangerous, however, and shouldn’t be underestimated by anyone venture into that part of the forest. The City Guard is organizing an operation to go into the forest to deal with her.

In fact near me, time may show
