FOREST OF TEARS

     The extreme northern and southern ends of this woodland are inhabited by mannish people and are relatively safe.  In the south the Barony of Helmwood dominates the region, and the north supports the small Dyllarian Hobling population and the town of Lumberton Shire.  The deeper one gets into the forest the more treacherous travel becomes.  Wolves, Orcs, Treants, Dark Dwarves, Goblins, Trolls, Giants, bears, Dryads, and Giant Spiders are some of the inner inhabitants.  Although not all of them are hostile, each of these creatures can be dangerous.  The few remaining tribes of the Dyllarian Emuri live here.  The Emuri are aboriginal people who originally inhabited this entire woodland, but The Broken Blade has hunted them into near extinction and they now live in only the deepest parts of the forest.  Many Emuri communities still live and thrive within the woodlands of Emuria.
