Overview

This large, dense forest grows in the plains between the Banner Hills and the southern Yatils. At one time it grew up onto the slopes of the Yatils, but the foothills and northern lowlands were cleared for farming over the centuries. Thornward is on its southeast border. Yarpick trees, commonly called daggerthorns, are abundant here. Cultivated yarpick “nuts,” the inner seed of their small fruit, are nourishing either whole or ground into meal; these are sold in Ket, Perrenland and the Baklunish nations.

Strange, evil nonhumans and fell monsters lurk here. A single main road pierces the forest; patrolled by Ketite soldiers and fortified against foreigner soldiers and predators alike.
