Every tree, every stream, rock, etc. The reason the Elementals have such a "vocal" presence in the Black Shroud is that they have the protection of the Hedge, a magical barrier which wards out dangers. By breaking or passing through this barrier, you begin accruing Woodsin, a palpable aggravation to the flora and fauna of the Twelveswood. Enough Woodsin will drive nearby beasts mad and cause them to try to "silence" your Woodsin. (This is slightly different from "Greenwrath" which is when you commit a wrong so grievous it awakens an Elemental to deal with the threat. These Greenwrath-worthy events are usually acts in violation of the Pact of Gelmorra.
This reminds me of a question I've had ever since 2.0 launched. In 1.0 the woodsin and greenwrath were very prominent in the Gridanian storyline. But even since 2.0, I haven't noticed anyone mention it, and you certainly never see it happen as you did in 1.0. I remember a reason for this, though if I'm being honest I can't remember if I read this in game or made it up in my head as a possible reason for not seeing any greenwrath, but is Dalamud cutting deep wounds into the Twelveswood the reason we never hear or see anything about the greenwrath in 2.0? As in the elementals have been weakened or are healing or somesuch and therefore can not enact the greenwrath as they once could? Or did I skip a cutscene on accident and I just missed it?
