	The forests of Skogei Glens are the site of the settlement of '''Skogei'''. This region was the last to be brought into Empire, in 154YE, and its halls were first to fall during the invasion of Skarsind. In 371YE its wooden walls were burnt, and few can now be found who once lived there. Recaptured by the Empire relatively early during the big push of 377YE, it was quickly [[Fortify_Skogei\|reinforced]] with makeshift defences. In early Autumn 378YE, work was completed on [[#The Will of the Wintermark ("Hengesthal")\|The Will of the Wintermark]], a solid [[fortification]] capable of defending the whole of Skarsind.
