Verduran Province

Taldor has always clashed with the Kellid druids who compose the Wildwood Lodge and claim all the Veruran Forest as their own. As the empire pushed back the edges of the forest, the druids--along with the fey and Treants of the wood--grew increasingly violent. In the midst of Taldor's war with the Pirate Queens of Zevady, the demand for vessels to replace those the aquatic marauders sank became so desperate that Grand Prince Adavarine II signed the Treaty of the Wildwood in 3841 AR, which ceded control of the forest to the Wildwood Lodge druids and agreed to curb Taldor's logging operations in exchange for the Lodge's Loyalty and pacification of the woods' most violent and unusual inhabitants.   Taldor holds little authority within the forest beyond a narrow band outlined in the treaty, within 10 miles of the Sellen River and the Verduran Fork. Small communities exist within the Verduran, often living off the land and venerating the Green Faith to maintain good relations with their druid landlords. The Wildwood druids make every effort to uphold their end of the treaty, policing vengeful fey and pacifying or culling dangerous beasts that wonder too near the borders.

Geography

Covered almost entirely by forest, the Sellen River forms the entire western boarder Andoran as it flows south into the Star Bay. The Verduran Fork flows west into the Sellen river and travels entirely though the forest.

Fauna & Flora

The druids have no resource or interest in taming the monsters in the forest's heart, though, and drakes , ettercaps , monstrous vermin, tatzlwyrms , treants , and other large predators call the forest home.

Natural Resources

The treeline has receded slightly from the river as the trees have been harvested over the centuries. The rest of the forest has thick lumber resources.
