The rough foothills of Dunam Forest hold a mix of
light woods of alder and oak dotted with box canyons
and steep ravines treacherous to mounted knights. Part
of the region is contested Kath land and is patrolled by
the army of the Chelmarch. Dunam is rich in boar and
deer and contains the ruins of Chelena, a fortified manor
destroyed by the Kath in 689.
Forest Hundred
Kaldor’s unpopulated regions are administered by
forest wardens with assistance from paid royal foresters.
The wardens are charged with protecting and exploiting
resources for the benefit of the crown. Although forest
wardens are answerable to the sheriff, in practice they are
the sole arbiters of law and order within their hundreds.
Poachers may be captured and bound over to the sheriff
for justice but it is not uncommon for a forest warden to
resolve the issue directly.
