At the heart of the forest is Lake Desinon, a fresh water lake that is fed from the surrounding mountains, which rarely freezes over due to the natural hot springs/vents that bubble up from the lakebed. (The lake freezes over only when the temperature drops below -30° Celcius.)The cold of the north combined with the heat from the heated underground water makes the Desinon Forest a contradiction of foliage, animals, monstrous denizens, and intelligent races. Silver 'wild' elves and firbolgs are common throughout the forest, which feels almost subtropical during the summer months. The Free City of Windwall is the heart of civilization in the forest and is ruled by a matriarchal oligarchy made up of firbolgs.Windwall -- also known as The Forest City -- has a long-standing alliance with The Shielded Northlands, which sits on the eastern coast of the peninsula. Fort Shield and Windwall agreed to this mutual protection alliance to deter the machinations of the ruler of The Blasted Reach (another name for the Blightlands). Karvo Melunsar [ISPOILER](NG human male, cleric [North Gods] 6/fighter 6)[/ISPOILER] has ruled Fort Shield since its founding over twenty years ago. He is a devout follower of the North Gods and has worked hard to build his new monarchy into a force for good in the Northlands.Besides the alliance with Windwall, The Shield King has aligned itself with Fort Tundra and Fort Icemist (trade alliance). Fort Tundra is an even newer city-state in the north; it has only existed for the last ten years. It's ruler, Lady Morwen Devonald [ISPOILER](N human female, fighter 4/sorcerer4)[/ISPOILER] relies heavily on the local clans that have sworn fealty to her as well as aid from Fort Shield and Dragon's Eye Reach. The Tundra Princess would prefer to keep Karvo as an ally, only, but she may be forced to formalize the alliance by marrying The Shield King's foppish son, Markos. (He, at least, is a handsome man for his age.)-----Note: Hmm, I'm going to have to doublecheck which maps to repost. - KF72[ATTACH=full]44376[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
