Scarleforth
Situated east of the Glimmerwood on the edges of the
Bloodstone Marches, Scarleforth Lake has long been a
contested region. Even though most consider it a part of
the marches, many of the trollkin kriels who now call the
Glimmerwood home first came together on the shores of this
sulfurous and mineral-rich lake.
The waters that feed the lake are filled with mineral runoff from the nearby mountains, and these deposits give the flora and fauna around the lake their unmistakable coloration, which many of the Glimmerwood’s trollkin still sport. To these kriels, the Scarleforth is their old homeland, and they long to return to the ruined villages that still dot much of the lake’s western border, either to resettle the region or to reclaim the deserted krielstones that tell the stories of their people.
Some kriels have begun relocating back to the lakeside, but expeditions into the region remain dangerous. The land around Scarleforth Lake was decimated by the skorne, who used this area as a staging ground for breeding beasts of war, and rumors persist that skorne holdouts still remain in the area. More perilous, however, are the bandits, raiders, and strange creatures that have filled the vacuum left behind by the withdrawal of the skorne. Trollkin who hope to retake something of their former homeland here have an uphill battle ahead of them.
