Darrog

The Black Forest of Darrog is a great shady woodland in Central Tellaria, not far west of Sistona. It is home to tribes of both forest trolls and wild elves. While not friendly, they are rarely in open conflict. Usually that falls to tribes fighting between one another. Darrog can be navigated without incident if one knows where to pass and is quiet about it, but nonetheless not a journey for the faint of heart.
The name of the forest is actually a mistake made by the initial humans, of a now defunct nation, who made contact with the local trolls. The Zan'sil word, Dah'Rokkih, does mean "High Black Trees" but referred to the nearby mountain ranges they could glimpse between the trees. The forest they lived in was simply called "Dah'Gohmag," or "Home Among the Branches." The humans jumbled them together and took this name back to other peoples. The Zan'sil still use the original names among themselves, but with outsiders they bow to convention.
During the Age of the Virgin Lands, Darrog found itself being encroached on by the Order of Iludin. Having deforested all of the nearby Andris Forest, they began cutting through Darrog. A few attempts at peace talks were made, but once many sacred trees had been cut by the Iludin, the time for talking passed. The bonds that had held the trolls and Sistona in tentative peace for millennia were now broken.
