The vallorn has an iron grip on the ancestral homeland of the Navarr
Regions of Brocéliande

Overview

Lush Brocéliande, on the border between Dawn and Highguard, is considered by the Navarr as ancestral homeland and is the single largest forested expanse in the Empire. This is where Navarr and Thorn first danced. The Navarr have been unable to make any significant gains in this territory against the Vallorn, and there is limited Navarr presence here.

Recent History

Over the last fifty years, much of the forest has been infiltrated by barbarian orc communities settling from the Barrens. It is considered a major threat to the Empire.

Major Features

The Broch

The largest collection of steadings of the Navarr, well-defended and constantly guarded. It is the western edge of the Navarr’s watch on the barbarians and darker horrors of Brocéliande. It is both fortification against the orcs, and a place of ritual where Vates gather when necessary to counter specific magical threats.

Regions

Elerael

Elerael was one of the few regions of Brocéliande initially under Navarr control. The most prominent steading here, Eleri’s Stead, was once a comparatively peaceable place, a Navarr counterpart to High Chalcis where herbs and forest plants were studied. It was swept away as orcs flooded from the Forest of Peytaht.

Black Boughs

Keywords: Forested, Vallorn

Boar's Dell

The northernmost region of Brocéliande is the site of Greenstead, a stone-walled steading built with support from Rucastle as Dawn and the Navarr threw a ring around the dark heart of the forest there. It is often assaulted, but with Dawnish support it has always held. There has long been a bond - and several intermarriages - between the two settlements.

Dark Ranging

Greenweald

Keywords: Forested, Vallorn

Terunael

This is the heart of the Vallorn in Brocéliande, and the most storied of the ancestral cities of the Navarr.

OOC Note

  • As of Spring 379YE, the barbarian orcs control Elerael. The Vallorn occupies Back Boughs, Dark Ranging, Greenweald, Vale's Lament and Terunael. The Navarr (and thus the Empire) holds Boar's Dell.
  • To claim Brocéliande, the Empire needs to hold four of the seven regions. This is currently impossible without reducing the power of the Vallorn.
