The Forest Realms states
The Forest Realms make up the western side of the Tellenheim major continent. The majority of this side of the continent is made up of Elven states with some smaller human and Gnomish settlements that reside in the coastal regions. This side of the continent is technically called Oraheim but most just refer to it as the Forest Realms. Miles and miles of Deep old growth forest fill the interior and a few mountain ranges can be see to the north.
The last several Millenia of the forest Realms created many powerful kingdoms that still rule the lands today. Warring factions fought several civil wars during the Violent Ora one hundred year war of the 24th and 25th centuries. Several factions of warriors and mages banded together during this time to wrest control of the largest cites of Halas and Orahero. Both of these cities are home to powerful relics and religious buildings that many elves still hold to be talismans of elven power and heritage.
The Inorh faction was a powerful tribe of wood elves led by a dangerous elven warlock named Quadius. He convinced the entire realm to invade the city of Halas and take back their true heritage. The city of Halas had built upon ancient temples and carved tree interiors that was said to be done by ancient forest elves after the disappearance of the ancient mega civilization. Sometime in the 9th century of the current shard fall high elves had taken the city and began to build the current iteration of the city.
Another faction known as the Weatherites were green elves from the Opan Realm. They rallied around their powerful druid leader known as Odathero the behorned. He gathered an army to march on the city of Orahero and expel the high elves who had taken the area back in the 12th century. They had traveled far to the south and made an alliance with the dragon born of Dragon mouth. They traded magics and gained knowledge of the dangerous environmental magicks of the Dragon born.
The Quellis province was a mixture of races who lived in the great forests there. Led by many elves but also by a strange human woman named Tranealle the unwavering. She rallied the many fighters, druids, and clerics in the area to defend themselves against the encroaching forces of The Oru kingdom who had begun taking land and violating treaties for several years.
The Prime Minister of Orahero at the time had the strongest coalition and he made a deal with the Assembly of the weave, the organization that monitors the use of magic. The elven kingdoms gave them authority on how all magics would be accessed, Wizards only, and the Assembly would find a way to remove power from the dangerous factions. The ensuing battles were costly but the end result was 200 years of peace by way of authoritarianism. The Assembly of the weave grew stronger in power and the Prime Minister created an even stronger government. Quadius was gentled and then killed and the weatherites were sent to Dragon Mouth for execution.

Geography
The forest realms, known as Oraheim, is an enormous landmass on the Western side of Tellenheim. It is primarily composed of wide swaths of forests, rivers, and small mountain ranges. The overall climate is temperate to warm and dry on the southern coast. The northern reach and the Opan Mountains see snow and ice but the rest of the continent is fairly even keel. Mostly populated by elves the forests act as home and farm for most communities. Towns and cities are built amongst the trees and most produce comes from deeply forested areas instead of large fields. It is also home to great lakes and rivers which snake through all of the different regions.
