Message: <blockquote data-quote="TwinBahamut" data-source="post: 3928751" data-attributes="member: 32536">The Great ForestFor a long time ago, the Great Forest was a fairly minor region in a great and powerful kingdom. Overseen by a few minor nobles, it was a large stretch of woods, only broken by the occasional field or meadow, a large river, and the great King's Road which connected to the distant capital. However, decades ago, all traffic along the King's Road just stopped, and contact with the capital, or anywhere else in the kingdom, broke down completely. Now, the many scattered communities of the Great Forest are forced to fend for themselves, and many dark secrets and creatures of the forest slowly emerge.Within this zone of darkness, there are several points of light. None of them are terribly bright, but each has its own community leaders, strengths, and problems.One of the largest is a city built in the shadow of an old cathedral, where the old Bishop serves as a wise leader of the community. Many years ago, when the hard times began, he made treaties and trade agreements with the chief of the powerful tribe of orcs that live near the cathedral town. This has let that one town and its surrounding villages remain stable, peaceful, and prosperous. It is a peace built on a frail understanding between humans and orcs, but it has let them survive. Their only contact with the world outside that cluster of communities is through the few brave merchants who travel along the King's Road from their villages to the river towns deeper in the forest.</blockquote>
