The Midlands
The Midlands is the label applied to the large south-central portion of Terryth from the Sea of Storms to the northern edge of the Vallyrin Wood, east of the Raithos River and west of the Terralosa Mountains. Broadly flat and rich in water and earth, this part of the continent has been home to many of the great civilizations of Terryth. The roots of these peoples go very deep, beyond written memory, and there are many lost secrets here.
The Vallyrin Wood is the largest, deepest forest in Terryth. Its heart is surely as ancient as the Deepshadow, but it is not as dense or dark. Like many of the northern forests, it is a thorough mixture of deciduous and evergreens. The Raven River splits into component tributaries at its southern edge and link together a number of forest settlements inside. It is home to tribes of Aelfen and Allanyn, and hides the rough stone shrine to the Eternal Flame as well as a mighty, ancient ruin known as Ruach.
The Raven's Nest is a small, dense forest in the middle length of the Raven River. Its trees are tall, straight, and widely valued for use as ships' masts. The forest is therefore well guarded by local rulers, but also by a small and elusive Aelfen tribe called the Ayyari that works to strike a balance between harvesting trees and preservation of their home.
The Forest of Deepshadow is home to the Aelfen kingdom of the same name. As the name implies, it is a thick, dark wood whose mighty trees long ago grew together to create a high upper canopy, leaving the forest floor in a sort of perpetual twilight. The so-called Deep Aelfen, known in their own tongue as the Kor’lissen Rani, who live there are fearsome and xenophobic. They have long traded atrocities with neighboring Oriloth and Garreth.
The Old Forest is one of three named forests at the heart of the old Kingdom of Kensorros. It has always been associated with that civilization and plays many roles in their folk tales, legends, and identity.
The Highfire Forest is the second of the Kensorrosian woodlands. Unusual for forests, it is home to many rocky outcroppings and hills that are rich in minerals, especially silver. The Highfire was therefore a source of wealth and power for Kens nobles and kings and has been the site of many conflicts. Melbraun Keep is the chief fortification of the region, established centuries ago to control the mines.
The Erronath Forest is the last of the Kens forests, marking the northwestern edge of their historic borders. It is best known as being home to persistent Kens partisans, who lived in the forest for years as guerrillas resisting the Sindathi conquerors. It has maintained that association with heroic, and dastardly, outlaws ever since and has always remained a trouble spot for authorities.
