This region mostly consists of the vast woodlands that surround the Kingdom of San d'Oria. Once a race predominately made up of hunters, the Elvaan still value their ties to the forest by protecting it--even though the thick foliage leaves them vulnerable to sneak attacks by enemies who lurk in its shadows.

When the kingdom was at its peak, the knights would lead patrols through the trees, maintaining peace throughout the land. But now, the weakening lion of San d'Oria no longer has the power to assure the safety of those who travel through the forest; the region has become a hiding place for ravenous Orcs and thieving Goblins.

West Ronfaure

This wooded area lies to the west of San d'Oria's gates. Many years ago, the Orc forces captured the area surrounding Mount Ghelsba, then proceeded to relentlessly dispatch troops into the surrounding region from their newly constructed fort. Not a day goes by without the Royal Knights exchanging blows with the beastmen hordes.

East Ronfaure

This lush evergreen forest, set aside by the d'Oraguille family for hunting festivals, lies to the east of the Kingdom of San d'Oria. Blessed by the abundant waters of the Cheval River, the wildlife in these woodlands has flourished for centuries. However, extensive logging by Orcish troops--and an astounding increase in the number of wild sheep--have resulted in a significant reduction in the area's wildlife. San d'Orian officials are currently pondering over a solution to this new dilemma.

Fort Ghelsba

This massive fort, reinforced with towering logs cut down from the surrounding forests, is home to the frontline troops of the Orcish Empire. Here, the Orcs continue their preparations for battle with San d'Oria by constructing various siege weapons, such as long-range catapults and battering rams.

Ghelsba Outpost

This vanguard outpost for the Orcish Empire is home to the Vilebloods, who are led by the merciless Warchief Vatgit. Only the most fearless, vicious, bloodthirsty Orcs are selected to be a part of the Warchief's ranks. Many knights travel to this area to engage the enemy, but never return home.

Yughott Grotto

The Orcs once used Elvaan slaves to dig this tunnel, which was originally intended to lead all the way under the walls of the San d'Orian citadel. However, the short-tempered Orcs soon found that their plan would be far more difficult to carry out than they previously thought, so they simply gave up their pursuit of the project.

King Ranperre's Tomb

Somewhere deep within this enormous expanse of catacombs lie the remains of the 24th heir to the throne of San d'Oria: Ranperre, the Dragon King. It is said that the king--who was a dragonslayer--had entrusted the protection of the tomb to a black dragon that had been spared in exchange for its services.
