The Vesve Forest

Iuz's aim in the Vesve Forest is simple: to decimate and destroy the forest and slay its peoples, driving his enemies southward. When signing the Pact of Greyhawk, Iuz recognized the current northern border of Furyondy, but laid claim to a broader area of the Vesve than his forces currently occupy. The border was also difficult to establish, because of a lack of accurate maps of the great forest. So, Iuz is not violating the Pact of Greyhawk when his hateful, malign forces maraud into the forest.

The sourcebook The Marklands gives full details of locations in Vesve territory not held by Iuz, and also a "zonal map" of the different races and factions holding sway in different areas: Locations therein are noted very briefly at the end of this section for DMs who do not have this sourcebook. For our purposes, the Vesve held by Iuz can be divided into three broad areas, north, central, and south, which present very different pictures of what Iuz's forces are up to. The southernmost Vesve lands have troops commanded by Xenvelen from Crockport; and are described in the section on the Furyondian Borderlands below.
