Royal Forest
The Royal Forest is a thin evergreen forest northwest of Nox. Despite the name, the Royal Forest is used by all the residents of Nox. Lumberjacks harvest the coniferous wood to sell in the capital. It is sold for use in constructing buildings, making furniture, or burning for warmth. In addition to the wood, the forest supports a variety of animals, but most of the larger prey have gone extinct in the forest due to over hunting.
King’s Copse
King’s Copse is a small birch and maple forest east of Nox. The forest belongs to the King of Xoria, thus hunting and wood gathering within the forest are forbidden without the permission of the king. Due to this the forest maintains a population of large animals and a dense underbrush. A community of dryads lives within the woods and enforces the king’s rule by killing trespassers.
The King’s Copse was where Queen Anajakaze was raised in secret out of Hera’s sight. The dryads brought her up and trained her to be a queen and a warrior. The forest was invaded by Queen Chrilethia of the Amazons. Anajakaze assassinated the intruding queen and took over the Amazon nation at the subsequent tournament of arms.
