The Everwood

The Everwood is a region within Tyrrus, it is an ancient magical forest, home to the druidic Wodenfolk people, and many Elves.
The Everwood is imbued with powerful natural magic, due to the many Ancient Elves whose territory lays within the forest. Silverbirch and Ironwood trees are known to be much less rare within the Everwood.
The Everwood also contains a wide array of flora and fauna, including some unique creatures and plants that have become extinct in the rest of Tyrrus.
The Everwood contains a sparse, but sizeable, population of humans, elf-bloods, and spriggans, collectively known as the Wodenfolk. These folk live in mostly self-sufficient communities, and have built a few larger towns.
== Fauna ==
The Everwood contains mostly animals that you would expect to find in the rest of Tyrrus, and even some Hirokiri creatures, however there are also a few unique creatures that can only be found in the Everwood, such as the following;
=== Hiran Deer ===
The most iconic creature of the Everwood; the Hiran deer are uniquely colourful; their fur dappled in colours of blue, purple, or red. Their antlers grow impressively large, and some are said to even grow leaves and flowers.
=== Sunset Lion ===
A kind of Mountain Lion, which lives among the foothills of the Sunset mountains.
=== Aetheroc ===
A magically attuned, colourful bird. Spotting one of these flying over was once said to be a good omen, but they are rarely seen outside the Everwood anymore.
=== Phoenix ===
An incredibly rare bird, with power to control fire, and the ability to regenerate itself from death.
=== Horned Hare ===
A strange creature, a hare with the horns of a deer. Sometimes called a "Jackalope".
== Nations & Cultures ==
Many of these human / humanoid communities have collected together to form nations, who do not rule with much authority, but provide guidance and a centralised military force.
=== Thrynn ===
Named after a previous incarnation of Brendyffryn, the King of Elves, and supposedly founded by the children he bore with a human (Thrynnai literally meaning “Children of Thrynn”). Thrynn is the largest and strongest nation of the Everwood. The nation's capital is the largest settlement in the Everwood; Thrynnoch.
=== Lamorra ===
Home to the legacy of the ancient Kingdom of Tyrraness. The Lamorrai are curators of history and experts with a variety of magic. Sadly, a large portion of the Lamorra forests were burned down by the primordial flames of the Fire Dragon Salvakoryn centuries ago, and have never regrown. The cultural capital is the town of Lachandar. Lamorra is also home to the ruins of Tyrra and Sorrowsong Castle, the first settlements in Tyrrus.
=== Karnath ===
This nation live among the mountains and foothills which separate Tyrrus from the dangerous jungles of Hirokir; as such they are hardy folk and competent fighters. They are ruled by the ancient Forest Dragon Rhydaria, who maintains an elite order of warriors to defend the western border of the Everwood, and who supposedly possesses incredible healing powers. The centre of this nation is the fortress Mag Rhydar, where Rhydaria maintains a beautiful garden.
=== Morclyd ===
Typically seen as reclusive and spiteful, the folk of Morclyd originated further south, but have been gradually forced out of their homeland by the Valarr and the Varawyners, forcing them to beseech the Elves and the Wodenfolk to grant them refuge in the Everwood.
