istory

The Duskstone forest was discovered during the second expedition of Bandar in the Ferronian 2nd Century of Expansion (40th year of the Second Era).

During this time, the fledgling kingdoms of Ferro were looking to grow as they settled into a more stable form of civilization. Villages became towns, towns became cities, and it became all too important to know whether bands of roaming bandit tribes were nearby. Heroes of this time were of a more adventurous mindset, and many explorers set out to map their humble continent.

Located near the northern edge of the kingdom of Bandar, the golden plains begin to break and rise into gentle green hills. I have traveled here once before during the summer and the abundance of dense green forests and friendly natives knows no end.

Duskstone forest itself takes its name from the dense canopy of trees which form a permanent shade on the rocky forest floor. There are many large boulders deeper within the woods here, covered in ancient carvings of unknown origin. The sleepy atmosphere and bountiful wildlife bring a sense of peace as one travels here. Small brooks bubble down from pure springs into the valleys. In these cozy basins rest local villages and fields which are periodically flooded, similar to the irrigation techniques encountered in neighboring Gamba.
