The Kalar Hinterland is a vast forest that spans across Kalamar's southern region from the border to the Silver Dominion to the northern coastline of Kalamar. It is a dense and sprawling wilderness, filled with towering trees, rocky outcroppings, and winding streams. The forest is known for its beauty, but also for its dangers. Many of the creatures that live in the Hinterland are wild and untamed, and even the most seasoned traveler can quickly become lost in its depths.
One of the most striking features of the Kalar Hinterland is the so-called "Dark Woods." These woods are an area of the forest where the trees are so thick and the canopy so dense that very little light can penetrate to the forest floor. As a result, the Dark Woods are said to be home to some of the most dangerous and deadly creatures in all of Kalamar. Stories abound of travelers who have wandered into the woods and never returned, lost forever in the labyrinthine tangle of trees and underbrush.
Despite its dangers, the Kalar Hinterland is also a place of great natural beauty. The forest is home to a wide variety of plant and animal life, from towering evergreens to delicate wildflowers, from majestic elk to cunning foxes. The forest is also a popular destination for hunters, who come from all over Kalamar to track big game like bears, wolves, and moose. The town of Elktown, which sits on the edge of the Hinterland, is known for its hunting community, which has long made its living from the bounty of the forest.
The Kalar Hinterland is also home to a number of hidden secrets and mysteries. Some say that deep within the forest lies a hidden shrine to the old gods of Kalamar, long forgotten by the people of the towns and cities. Others claim that a powerful witch makes her home in the woods, using her magic to protect the creatures that call the Hinterland home. Whatever the truth of these tales, the Kalar Hinterland remains a place of mystery and wonder, a place where the line between the mundane and the magical is often blurred.
