Galahir itself is an enduring marvel of the world. The heart of the forest is the domain of the Green Lady, unchanged and, until recently, unsullied.
Historically in times long past the heart of the elven civilisation, deserted as their power grew, along with their thirst for conquest. Only the Sylvan Kin remain and retain the favour of the Lady.
To prevent the glaciers of Winter from crushing the Sylvan Kin and their realm while Primovantor and Arkovidia were smothered beneath the frigid onslaught, the Green Lady wove arcane defences around the forest.
Other creatures live within the borders of Galahir, no other place in the world are so many races represented in so small a space. Naiads, Sylphs and more cohabit in the varied environs of the great space, each keeping to the part most suited to them but co-existing in peace and harmony.
Many of these creatures are not native to this part of the world, such as the Salamanders, and are either descendants of those who took refuge in Galahir during the God War or emissaries from their homelands, sent as part of the ongoing pacts and debts made during that terrible time.
To call Galahir just the forest of Galahir is a misnomer, as within its borders there are mountains, streams, lakes and dark caverns.
Of course, this bountiful variety and its place in the world mean that Galahir is often subject to the unwelcome attentions of outside invaders. Orcs and their smaller cousin races often trespass into the borders of Galahir as they continue their endless quest for destruction. Abyssal Dwarfs have been known to venture within, seeking fuel for their furnaces in the magnificent and ancient trees of the forests.
Even men, from the wild barbarians of the Ardovikian Plains to adventurers and rogues from Basilea and other, smaller cities in the remains of Primovantor, seek to penetrate the mysterious depths of the realm in search of sport, plunder or both. Few meet with any success, and most lose their lives, or worse, when they cross the borders of Galahir and seek to make sport of its inhabitants.
