Jareche Forest

The Jareche Forest was a vast, lush and ancient forest that made up the majority of the Duchy of Jareche within the Kingdom of Iadria. Also called the Greatwood, the Holy Wood or simply Jareche, it was the largest known forest on Adovias. Home to the famed order of the Knights Jareche as well as the remaining Elves in Iadria, the Holy Wood was known to harbor strange and otherworldly yet mostly benign enchantments, creatures and regions yet unexplored. Though much of the Duchy's power indeed lay with the Knights in their Citadel of Jareche, true control was typically vested in the Duke of Arieport, the largest city and primary port of the Duchy, as well as a link to the Elves of Ostrivon and the Northern Nations of men.
