Torian Forest
Cradling the southwestern edge of the Cliffkeep
Mountain range, the Torian Forest supplies much of
Emon’s timber, as well as Kraghammer’s firewood.
Though its locals proudly proclaim the Torian to
be the “most welcoming” and “least haunted” of
Tal’Dorei’s forests, this is more of a myth than people realize. The forest is welcoming and bright at its
edges, with a beautiful wetland at its northern end,
but within its deep and unexplored heart are spirits
not understood since the Age of Arcanum— and a
cruel and hungry wraithroot tree guarding a magical
artifact likewise not seen since time immemorial.
Born from the wild peoples of the Dividing Plains , free folk who shunned the constraints of society, the Rivermaw is the greatest of the Dividing Plains’ herds. It now boasts a membership of nearly ten thousand, along with a number of satellite herds that owe their allegiance to the Rivermaw.
Though the Rivermaw is now a mighty force for good on the Dividing Plains, they had humble beginnings. Just two generations ago, they numbered little more than three hundred half-giants, orcs, gnolls, humans, and nomads of other races that made their home in the Torian Forest.
It wasn’t until they were conquered by the Herd of Storms, helmed by the tyrannical goliath Kevdak, that a more violent way of life was forced upon them for a number of years. Once Kevdak was slain, the remaining members of both the Rivermaw and the Herd of Storms recanted his brutal ways and become the Rivermaw Herd known across Tal’Dorei today. It is led by two goliaths: Zanroar, son of Kevdak, and Skyhaal, daughter of Zanroar.
