The Seordah

A vast, ancient forest on the Eastern edge of the Aequilan Empire. The forest is bordered on its northern side by the Ullar plain, and the Pillar Mountains to the East and South. The forest is surrounded by folk lore and myth, most of which warn of fell spirits and beasts whose ire will drawn be by those who enter it. The reality of the matter is that the forest is inhabited by the Seordal Sil, or people of the Seordah, who promptly and brutally deal with any trespassers, often displaying their handiwork to further discourage encroachment.

The forest has remained largely untouched by the Aequilan Empire, but as expansionist pressures within the empire have grown troops and foresters have been posted on the Empire/Forest border, and Skirmishes between the Seordah Sil and Empire forces are increasingly frequent. Further escalation may lead to all out war between the two factions, though either faction likely would not consider it such.
