Winterglen

Winterglen is an ancient and vast forest located in the Kingdom of Down,rich in fey magic. The towering trees of Winterglen stretch high into the sky, their canopies dense enough to blot out much of the sunlight, casting the forest floor into perpetual twilight. The forest is teeming with life, from the vibrant undergrowth of ferns and mosses to the sounds of wildlife echoing through the trees.
Despite its beauty, Winterglen is not a place to be taken lightly. It is home to the reclusive wood elves of Eyma Shaeras, who see the forest as their sacred domain, refusing to acknowledge the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Down over it. The forest itself seems to reflect this independence, with paths that shift and fade, as if guided by an unseen hand. Travelers often find themselves lost or turned around, and strange lights, whispers, and fey creatures are said to lure the unwary deeper into its heart.
The forest is not only a refuge for the wood elves but also for a myriad of other fey creatures, including dryads, pixies, and more elusive and dangerous beings. It’s a place where the veil between the mortal world and The Feywild is thin, and magic pulses through the land, changing the very nature of the forest as the seasons shift. In the depths of Winterglen, ancient standing stones, fey ruins, and hidden groves can be found, each tied to the history of the elves and the Feywild.
To the southwest lies Myrloch Vale, a place of even deeper fey enchantment, while to the west, the capital of the Kingdom of Down, Caer Allegain, sits near the forest’s edge. To the east is the Daoine town of Timberswade, which, though close to Winterglen, is kept at a respectful distance due to the strange and often unnerving presence of the forest. The human settlements take timber from the woods only at its furthest edges. If they cut too deep into the forest, the elves would let them know with raid.
Winterglen is a place where nature reigns supreme, and the boundaries between worlds blur. It is a forest of deep magic, beauty, and danger, where those who venture too far may find themselves at the mercy of its ancient and unfathomable will.
