The Rukkenvahl

South of the Green Range lies a thickly forested valley. Royal cartographers refer to this region as the Rukkenvahl, an archaic Virsk word meaning "vale of ravens." Anyone wishing to enter or leave Ehb by land must pass through the Rukkenvahl, but it remains the most sparsely populated part of the kingdom.
The forest is ancient and brooding, and it is still gripped by the ancient forced of nature. Its people are simple, superstitious folk, more willing to trust in pagan magics than the distant promises of the Azunite Church. The Rukkenvahl's name arose from the flocks of ravens that once blackened its skies. The birds are fewer in number now but can still be seen with regularity.
Only one settlement of note can be found here, and that is the village of Raven's Rill. It lies along a clear mountain stream - the only safe source of water in the valley, from which the village took its name.
