Linderwood

The Linderwood is a massive forest of green-leaved deciduous and coniferous trees that marks the eastern border of Ashoya. The forest is considered dangerous and impassible to anyone other than the skilled or the lucky. It's also entirely non disputed-both Mesnea and Ashoya seem to have respect for one another's sovereignty in this area. Mesnea considers everywhere beyond the edges of the Vermillion Forest to be Ashoyan land, and Ashoya appreciates the Linderwood's use as a buffer to ease potential border tensions. While most consider that to be a greater good, its no-man's-land status makes it dangerous and unregulated.

The forest itself tends to follow an Ashoyan climate, and is home to a number of large or magical creatures.

Historically, the Linderwood has gradually grown in size, expanding eastward.
