FOREST OF SHADOWS

     Elves, Centaurs, Dryads, and Hags make their home in this vast forest.  The less frequented areas are home to Giant Spiders, Wolves, Wargs, Kobolds, and many other horrors.  The Basmar River flows north to south through this region, nearly cutting it perfectly in half.  The Erlunn Elves have made their home here since the Battle of Muddy Cloak in 600 when a feat of Elven magic caused the previously separate North Wood to be absorbed into this region by joining the two.  The traditional Erlunn Homeland, the North Wood has ceased to exist as a separate region, and the Erlunn King Alipostos III has since seen fit to move his people to the north, farther into the protective recesses of The Forest of Shadows.  As part of a treaty with the Kingdom of Stonegate, the Erlunn have agreed to protect travelers along the Basmar River, and to guard the northern borders of Dyllaria against invasion.
