Qualinesti
The Qualinesti forest lies in western Abanasinia northwest of Thorbardin and the New Sea to the east. It is a heavily forested land with the White Rage River running along its northern boundary. During the War of Souls the Lake of Death was created when Beryllinthranox was killed during the evacuation of the city of Qualinost, and her body crashed into the city causing the tunnels below it to flood.
Prior to the War of Souls this land was home to the Qualinesti elves following their departure from Silvanesti after the Kinslayer Wars. By working with the nations of Ergoth and Thorbardin, they were able to create a new kingdom and seal an alliance of peace between the three groups by building Pax Tharkas. The area remained independent until, following the Chaos War, the invading Knights of Neraka seized power over the land by placing their puppet king, Gilthanas, on the throne. Following the War of Souls, the land has remained in the control of bandits, outlaws, and ever increasing bands of goblins.
