Dartleheim Forest

Dartleheim History

The ballads tell the tale of the trees within the Dartlehiem forest being planted long ago by firbolgs on a journey, some verses came from the great tree of Noirtisser itself while other versions of the tale claim they journeyed from the feywild. These days the firbolg are known as caretakers of the forest by those who dwell within them, although they are rarely seen by those outside of the forest as they are a private people. In the last few millennia, Bolandy has grown rich and powerful from the lumber it takes from the vast forest. Those who work the forest understand that there is a balance to be kept to ensure the forest thrives lest they drive themselves to ruin out of greed by consuming too much. Around the time of the rebellion the Empress cruelly pushed her workers to the limit and they no longer respected the balance of the forest, they would ravage a section and fail to plant new trees, their hunger for progress becoming dangerous. Out of the depths of the forest came three great magical beasts that terrorized the workers, although rarely were lives ever taken, which greatly halted the industry of Bolandy for a small time. Fortunately, after the rebellion the worker’s were able to unite and reinstate the proper ways of forestry.
