The Torva'Ne
The Torva'Ne was once the forest home to Torva'Wea, or the Wood Elves, who lived there for all of the Second Age among the trees and forest. Before that it was the original home of all Elves in Kalin before the time of the Torva'Ir. Some of what constituted Wood Elven civilization is now understood with their mass migration out of the Torva'Ne, but little is known now.
While once it was the wood land kingdom of the Wood Elves, it is now home purely to the spirits of the forest and the Torva'Wio, or Wild Elves. As their name implies, the Wild Elves are more in tune with nature than even the fabled Wood Elves, often having bark skin, moss hair, and more.
On the whole, very few enter or leave the Torva'Ne, and how the Torva'Wio run their society, if they have one, is unclear. The borders of the vast forest are guarded by spirit, animal, and Torva'Wio alike, and almost none may pass. The Torva'Wea do not speak of their once home, only showing an ancestral longing to return to it at best.
Some Torva'Wio leave their fabled forest, but few speak of what it is like, and never in detail.
Some brave or stupid adventurers or sponsors lead expeditions into the Torva'Ne, not one has come back to date.
