	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).

	The Druj are secure in their domination of the Sarangrave. Until very recently, the territory was completely unknown to the Empire. The [[Great Forest Orcs]] were the first to name the place, when they provided [[The Mallum#Sarangrave\|what information they possessed]] to their Imperial allies. In Summer 383YE, however, a [[spy network]] was [[Construct_spy_network_in_the_Sarangrave\|commissioned here]] by the [[~~Imperial~~ Senate]]. Thanks to a joint effort between the [[Penumbral Watcher]], Imperial [[military unit\|military captains]] and [[Axos\|Axou]] scouts the territory was carefully infiltrated, explored, and mapped in the run-up to the Winter Solstice of that year. The information here was made public after the summit. The Axou contingent was composed of Toxatai skirmishers, many of them [[Magical skills#Magician\|magicians]]. These scouts cooperated fully with their Imperial counterparts, sharing information and coordinating their movements through the fens and forests. Two of them were accompanied by ghostly advisors - remnant spirits summoned by ''necromantia'' as part of an [[enchantment]] that helped guide the Axou in their investigation of the territory. The Axou have the same information as is provided here.		The Druj are secure in their domination of the Sarangrave. Until very recently, the territory was completely unknown to the Empire.

	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.
