	The Thornfen is controlled by the Marshlizard Clan of the Druj, and the heart of their territory is the sprawling town of '''Sephals''' which is by far the most significant settlement in the Sarangrave - a sprawling stinking almost-city with a population on par with [[Mitwold#Meade\|Meade]]. It squats in the shadow of the Tower of the Skink, an impressive fortified complex of white granite and twisted weirwood.

	Apart from Bendol this is the wildest region in Sarangrave.

	Grim fens and dour marshes and dozens of streams and rivers feed into the Feverwater. There are a couple of Druj settlements here on the shores of the lake, mostly dedicated to fishing and raiding Therunin. This is where the Druj forces invaded Zenith from. The largest settlement here is probably '''Lahkev''', along the eastern shores of the Feverwater, close to the twisted vallorn of [[#Bendol\|Bendol]]. A sept of orcs who seem to take pride in emulating the Druj are found here - they curry favour with their masters in the Thornwasp clan by scouting and raiding in [[Therunin]] and [[Zenith]]. Lahkev has rotten docks - barely maintained enough to support the fisherfolk. There are signs that some of the buildings here are very old indeed - or at least parts of them are.

	The Nesustak Forest is dank and unpleasant. It is dominated by the Banded Snake clan, ruled from nearby '''Turan''', but there are few Druj settlements here. Most of the populace are made up of orc septs, with one obvious exception. At the point where the river leaves the vallorn-infested region of Bendol there is a small town given over to a predominantly human sept who call themselves the Grynbor (which also seems to be the name of their settlement).
