Storhet - The Great Northern Forest

From World of Kralis

The Storhet is the single largest forest on the continent of Ta Los. It stretches from the shores of the Sea of Dragons north to the edge of the Vast and from the Minthirath Mountains in central Ta-Kanasiti in the west to the rugged peaks of the Sazar Crys Mountains.

The Great Forest as it is more commonly called, makes up 90% of the Kingdom of Panthias. It covers hundreds of miles of hills, has grand dales, and hides many deep valleys. It is home to the great Sidz Ra, great humanoid tree-folk. The forest is made up primarily of firs, great thick pines, and gigantic redwoods. The Bregah River and the Orim River cut their ways through the forest draining into the Bay of Sorrows, and are two of the major thorough fares within Panthias.

While the forest is occupied by the many fiefs and villages, much of its dark recesses are still unexplored by most folk. Rumors abound of ancient mines, lost cities, dark and foreboding dungeons of long ago mad spellcasters and priests of Azahak and chaos. There a many stone paved roads that disappear into the deep shadows of the forest, their final destination lost to the wheel of time.

Like most of the world beyond the lights and warmth of civilization, the Great Forest is still a WildLand. Its thick forests and undergrowth are alive with undisturbed energies that call back to when the world was new and the forest was very young indeed. It has often been rumored that in the darkness beneath boughs of the trees that evil creatures often become the very stuff that feeds the roots of the great trees, killed and eaten by the trees themselves.
