Produce a detailed written description of a eerie scene outside a forest with nomads, vedda trees, and pith.

The road passes through a defile of vedda trees here, their white inner pith exposed, stripped of all bark. In times of famine or scarcity, the nomads of this forest have been known to eat the bark in order to survive. Unfortunately, in addition to meager nutrition, it contains a powerful hallucinogen which tends to drive tribesmen into a frenzy directed primarily at interlopers into their forest domain.
