🌲 CHAPTER III — FORESTS & WILDS
🜂 THE WILDS OF TALLANON
🜂 THE WILDS OF TALLANON
The forests of Tallanon are ancient — older than the kingdoms, older than the gods men pray to, older even than the stones beneath them.
They are alive.
Not metaphorically — alive in the way a predator is alive:
watching
waiting
remembering
The Wilds are ruled by tooth and root, by spirits and beasts, by things that were old when the first mortals crawled from the mud.
Travelers say:
“The forest does not hate you.
It simply does not care if you live.”

🜃 GM GUIDANCE — RUNNING FOREST ENCOUNTERS
Forests emphasize:
Ambushes (Agility & Awareness tests)
Camouflage (Dark Sight & Awareness)
Difficult terrain (roots, mud, thorns)
Predators (Skirmishers & Brutes)
Fey & spirits (Magic & Charm tests)
Use:
Wilderness Lore often
Charm tests for fey trickery
Agility tests for entangling roots
Awareness tests for stalking predators
Forests should feel alive, unpredictable, and ancient.
