Mistwoods/Lore

Since the earliest records, the Mistwoods have always been a place of mystery. Early settlers who arrived upon the Island in 2000 BF described it as being "tamable" but widely "unusable." A perpetual yellow fog hangs in the forest that gives a slightly sulfurous smell. Though native species of flora and fauna seem resilient to the fog, it has made traditional agriculture nearly impossible. Erudite scientists have pinpointed this natural phenomena to several volcanic craters in the far eastern slopes of the forest unreachable by ordinary travelers. Though Kaezul never stepped foot in the forest, it has it's own array of dangers. Due to the limited visibility the Mistwoods are a haven for bandits and rogues, who are mostly refugees turned sour over the years. Kobolds are also a constant problem in the forest. Sending raiding parties from their Warrens, these savages are opportunists and will rob or take whatever food or material they can. Young adventurers are advised to be on guard.
