The Brambles

The Brambles is a region in Shandara. It is home to the Wodwin, who rent the land from the Atlanteans. Following the Mage Wars, the region was mostly desolate and abandoned, and demons and the forces of Chaos still lingered in the dark Forest of Amarava. In the Fifth Age these lands were granted to the Wodwin in return for fealty. With the help of the Queen's Mages and Knights, they chased the Chaos away or underground, and the Halflings used their skills to return life to the forest. Within decades, the whole region was abloom once more. 
Whilst originally granted only the Amarava Woods, the Wodwin were permitted to extend northwards, as far as Lake Mehlamar (The Mellowmeer), Faffin Island and Little Brambles, as a reward for their allegiance during the Atlantean Wars. The Brambles ends at the Upper Vatuna River (Nodha-Vari, or Nodavari in the local dialect, or Noddy to the Halflings).
Since the signing of the Summertide accords, the region has officially come under the ward of the Antillian colonies, and the Halflings pay a small rent for the area.
