Elder Forest

The forests of The Haunted Steppes are small and isolated. Some legends among the Shattered Folk claim that they were once far more extensive, but that they dwindled when the Stoneheart Mountains rose and cut the steppes off from the rest of the world. The Elder Forest is said to be one last remnant of the old woodlands. Stories tell of a hidden palace that is still inhabited by the beings who once controlled the woods (possibly high elves, deva, or other mystical beings) and that ordinary mortals will be struck dead or at least driven to madness if they set eyes on the palace and its unearthly beauty. Those few, brave Shattered Folk who have ventured to the edge of the woods report strange sylvan or aberrant creatures such as unicorns, owlbears, and fey of all sorts dwelling there.
