Eldeen Reaches

DM Info

The Reaches

---

A stretch of fertile farmlands borders a vast, untamed forest. Farmers tend the fields, while tribes of shifters and circles of druids and rangers roam through the woods. These are the Eldeen Reaches.
Druids and shifters dwelled in the Towering Wood for thousands of years, but the eastern farmlands of the Reaches were part of Aundair until the Last War. The lords of Aundair focused their resources on the war effort, ignoring banditry and other problems faced by the farmers of the east. The Wardens of the Wood-largest of the druid sects-came to the aid of these farmers.
Fifty years ago, the people of eastern Aundair seceded and formed the Eldeen Reaches. The Treaty of Thronehold recognized the Reaches as a nation, but its citizens fear Aundair will try to reclaim the region. Druidic magic is central to life in the Eldeen Reaches. Its people seek to live in harmony with the natural world, and each community has a druidic advisor who helps with planning and planting.
The Towering Wood is also home to tribes of shifters, who maintain a nomadic existence. The Wardens of the Wood uphold order and settle disputes, and the Great Druid Oalian-an awakened greatpine-is the spiritual leader of the Reaches.

Highlights

---

• The Towering Wood is vast and untamed. The Wardens of the Wood seek to protect travelers, but swathes of forest remain entirely untouched by human or shifter. Such areas could hold giant beasts never seen in the outside world, or relics from a previous age-artifacts or ruins created by demons or the terrifying daelkyr.
• The fey have a strong presence in the Towering Wood. Even outside the fey stronghold of the Twilight Demesne, manifest zones tied to Thelanis allow passage between worlds.
• Druidic magic is a vital tool in the Eldeen Reaches. Residents use animal messengers to carry communications between villages, and beasts perform vital services. Good berry wine takes the place of House Vadalis healing. Communities include awakened animals and plants as members.
• Most people of the Eldeen Reaches live in villages and on farms. Some folk in the Towering Wood make their homes in the vast trees, while others are wanderers.

The Last War

---

The farmers of the eastern Eldeen seceded from Aundair during the Last War, and tensions between the two nations remain high. Most Reachers believe it's only a matter of time until Aundair tries to reclaim the region, and every village has a militia ready to serve. The people of the Reaches value hospitality and regard all people as equals, but the fear of Aundairian aggression can cause Reachers to treat foreigners with suspicion or hostility.

Cities
The Gloaming This region of the towering wood has strong ties to the sinister plane of mabar. It’s charged with negative energy and undead and other malevolent creatures lurk in its shadows. Mabar, the endless night. Mabar is the darkness that promises to swallow even the brightest day, the hungry shadow that yearns to consume light and life. It is the plane of entropy, hunger and loss, slowly sucking the life from the multiverse. It is the source of negative energy in Eberron. Most undead are animated by the power of Mabar and the life they drain from mortals flows into the Endless Night. Manifest zones features D4 (page 231 EB)

Greenheart The grove of the archdruid Oalian, the awakened greatpine, who is the spiritual leader of the Reaches, is a place of great primal power. The wardens of the wood are based around greenheart, but all the druid circles of the eldeen reaches send emissaries to greenheart when they have important matters to discuss.
The Twilight Demesne Located within the towering wood, the twilight demesne has close ties to the faerie court of Thelanis. Fey abound in this forest and those who wander within may stumble upon the city of rose and thorn, the domain of a powerful archfey called the king of summer. Village: Shae Loralyndar Thelanis is the home of the fey and a realm where narrative and metaphor shape the nature of reality. Its many dominions are governed by the archfey, and the denizens of each realm reflect the nature and the story of their lord. For instance the realm of the Prince of Frost is trapped in endless winter, and pale eladrin leads packs of winter wolves in their hunts. It's not the same environment as on Risia, because the prince’s realm isn’t an embodiment of the idea of cold - rather it’s a domain frozen by its prince’s broken heart. If the prince’s story were changed, the realm would change with it. Time and space are both malleable in the Faerie Court, and a mortal who wanders into Thelanis might never return - or might leave after a few days to discover that weeks, months or years have passed back home.
