The Cyrengreen Forest
At the southwestern end of Wynandir, the Cyrengreen Forest hugs the base of the Cyrios Mountains. The forest is the second-largest source of lumber in the empire, with logging companies from Deastok and Trostenwald working the north and south sides, respectively. Most logging is limited to the outer tree line due to dangers in the shady interior of the Cyrengreen. The lush heart of the forest is home to some wilder families who brave the dangers of the forest to live a freer life, as the tax reapers are reticent to visit too often. There are also scores of abandoned cabins scattered throughout the deep woods where it is believed folks were either forced to flee or were killed by the wild denizens of the forest. To stumble on such a site is considered terrible luck; local tales speak of hungry fey spirits and shapeshifting hunters that stalk the dark shadows of the forest in search of prey to toy with. Stories of the dangerous game residing in the forest are mostly true, though they’re perpetuated by the seven nomadic tribes that reside here hoping to keep their privacy, especially in recent years. The continued logging has led to serious deforestation, eating into the tribal territories and forcing the tribes deeper into the center of the forest and closer than they’ve ever been, resulting in higher tensions as they attempt to establish a more stable leadership structure.
