Emerald Forest

The Emerald Forest is not the biggest or oldest of Jord's forests, but certainly it is the most important to the killoren people. It is mainly comprised of large deciduous trees and Elderoaks. The name is in reference to a stand of crystalline trees that lie in the center of the forest. These trees surround a Vela'haari ruin. The Oakheart family lives within this forest, protecting it from any and all threats. According to the surviving Vela'haari maps of the area the forest was of no importance before The Raising. What mention there is of the forest notes that a temple was built there long before the Vela'haari fell away from their divine worship. During The Raising something changed within the forest that led to a heavy saturation of arcane and divine energy. Because of this some areas of the forest behave strangely and many magical creatures wander its depths. The Oakheart family is always busy hunting down some perversion of the natural wildlife resultant from the wild magic. This wild energy is most prevalent in the crystalline stand that surrounds the Vela'haari Temple.

Silver Tower
A tower in the southeast corner of the ruins. Once it was a guard tower or perhaps the residence for a mid-ranking magus-lord. Now it is little more than a crumbling ruin being overtaken by the surrounding forest.

Tears of Niarah
Rumored to be created when the goddess of the moon, Niarah, discovered the bodies of her murdered children. These magical pools hold extraordinary healing powers. They are watched over by a powerful and ancient spirit, Ai'dreaal, tasked by Niarah to only allow those of pure intentions to use the waters of the pools.
