Doralle Woods

The Doralle Woods is a woodland at the northwestern edge of the Cyrios Mountains, tucked away at the very base of the mountain range.

Description
The Doralle Woods supplies the nearby elven city of Gwardan with game, timber and herbal medicines. The Doralle River goes through this forest, and fishers follow its path to the northern lake to catch rare fish and silt-born shellfish.

A community of fey beings watch over the Doralle Woods, showing no mercy to those who show disrespect to the land or try to rob it of their boons. When the Ki'Nau of elven heritage and the desert elves of Marquet were going to found Gwardan, after 445 PD or so, they firstly paid respects to the fey beings of the forest, taking only the essential resources for the task; even now, whenever travelers or hunters have to traverse the woods, they are supposed to bring with them offerings like fresh bread, tropical fruits or pearls to appease the fey. According to the local stories, these woodland spirits decided to punish a crew of loggers from Tussoa once: they banished only a week after entering the forest, returning a month later aged thirty years, without any memory of what happened while they were gone.

Trivia

 * The punishments that fey of the Doralle apply to mortals seems to consist of taking them to the Feywild, making them victims of its strange time magic and returning them with no memory of what has happened.
 * The fact that the loggers from Tussoa didn't remember a thing indicates that they were not elves or half-elves, since anyone with Fey Ancestry can resist those effects.
 * It's very possible that dryads and other types of nymphs are among the fey watchers of the forest, since they personify different elements of nature.
