The northern section of Edhellond is made up primarily of pine and fir trees, while the rest of the forest is a mixture of conifers and deciduous trees, such as mighty maples, oaks, and beech trees. The tree growth at the southern border of Edhellond with [[The Scorched Lands]] is limited due to the lack of usable nutrients in the soil. The eastern border of the Silent Forest is relatively clear of tree growth, as these areas have been cultivated for crops. Isolationist, militant, xenophobic, and suspicious, almost nothing is known about the elves of Edhellond (known to non-elves as the Silent Forest). Non-elves are unwelcome and those that refuse to leave are found, eventually, outside the forest, their bodies savaged and left as a warning to others. Non-elves do not know why the denizens of the Silent Forest have separated themselves from the rest of the world and those few elves who are caught outside the forest will not answer questions about their history or their homeland, even under threat of death. Only the most dire of circumstances will make an elf divulge information There are no cities in Edhellond, though there are the remnants of some outposts that lay in ruins. The elves learned early on that building structures, such as guard posts or even villages, simply gives other races a place to establish a stronghold within the Silent Forest. There are hundreds of campgrounds that are used by the patrols within the woods, but they contain no buildings and usually only a firepit or place to pitch a tent if needed. # Session Reference - [[Session 11]] - [[Session 12]] - [[Session 23]] - [[Session 26]] - [[Session 31]] - [[Session 32]] - [[Session 49]]
