Celadon Forest

The Celadon Forest is a temperate deciduous forest located within both the Duchy Palatine of Urnst and the Kingdom of Nyrond. The forest is split by the Nesser River, which also divides the Duchy of Urnst from Nyrond.
The Celadon is mostly unclaimed by either state, though the northern portion west of the Nesser is directly overseen by the Duchy of Urnst's Royal Pathwardens, a group of rangers loyal to the Duchy. The southern area west of the Nesser is under the protection of a group of humanoid druids known as the Council of the Thorn.
Duke Karll Lorinar enjoys great friendship with the generally peaceful elves and woodsmen of the western woodlands, and southwest Urnst is well served by rangers from the Celadon, mostly humans and half elves trained at Stalwart Pines, the only known "organized" ranger school in the Flanaess. However, the situation in Nyrond now borders on civil war. The former baron of Woodwych conducted extensive logging operations here, igniting an anti-Nyrond rebellion. The new baronass has provided hope to the woods folk, but she appears every bit as ruthless as her predecessor.
Mighty oaks and elms grow here, tended by treants, elves, and similar beings. These folk prevent the cutting of any live tree from the forest; the humans and elves who trade with the outside world are generally herbalists. Keoghtom’s ointment is said to derive from reagents gathered here. A great fire of mysterious origin damaged the western half in 571 CY.
