Forest of Angularis
The Forest of Angularis, also known as the Fifth Forest, is a vast sacred forest in the Deep South which is situated in the Bailiwick of the Princely Precinct of the Elwynnese Union called the Emirate of Alalehzamin and Utasia which is known as the Vale of Angularis. The forest is sacred to those who worship the Goddess Elwynn such as the Church of Elwynn and Froyalanish Ancient Ways. The latter consider the forest a Godsgrove writ large.
About
The Forest of Angularis is a large area of woodland and forest which partially contains the Hólmlendar. It is a lush environment which includes stone circles, eerie ponds, soothing streams, mysterious ruins and remains of lost civilizations, enigmatic lakes, secluded grottoes, and expansive, marshy lowlands. It stretches from the hinterland of the Shores of Angularis to the Barrowlands from which it is separated by Astopov's Dyke. Tree species to be found in the forest are elm, beech, ash, oak, olive trees and cedars. In the most primal parts of the forest there are trees to be found with trunks as wide as castle gates.
Among the large variety of animals found within the wood are wolves, great elk, deer, spotted tigers, wolves, tree cats, badgers, rabbits, foxes, monstrously huge boars, spotted bears, and a species of lemur.
History
In the days of yore the Forest of Angularis was part of the Forest of Elwynn of ancient lore. It escaped the deforestation policies of the Ardashirian reign due to being located outside the borders the Barony of Elwynn in those days and therefore beyond Baronial control.
