Hercynia

This is a placeholder page for content that PD are actively working on.

Overview

Ice-bound northern Hercynia is a forest territory entirely contained in the Nation of Wintermark, situated in the Great Vale, a bowl of mountains that surround both Hercynia and Skarsind. It is an inhospitable place, but where the Trods flow so the Navarr travel. Over the centuries, the Navarr have made slow but steady inroads here, reclaiming much of the forest from the particularly malicious Vallorn that dwells within it -- however the fall of Skarsind in 373YE has left them facing a more immediate danger, as the orcs try and force their way into the forest to achieve the capture of the whole of the Great Vale.

Minor Settlements

Treji

A stone-built steading in the heart of the winter forest, and one of the only places where the Navarr have a number of large forges, built with aid from the Winterfolk. Steinr apprentices are often placed with the Navarri for a time, to learn the working of wood alongside metal. The steading fell to the barbarian orcs in the fall of Skarsind in 372.

Places of Interest

The Gate of Summer

Two huge stones and a top lintel stand in the middle of a clearing, carved about with boar, deer and other game, and symbols representing summer. It is covered in moss, and no-one has ever seen a hint of any magic from it.
