Breeder's Wood

Breeder's Wood was a forest in the Letherii Empire about half a day's walk southeast of Dresh.Midnight Tides, Chapter 19, US SFBC p.575 The land had once belonged to the Tarthenal tribes before they were subjugated by the Letherii. Now only eleven Tarthenal lived within a day's walk of the wood, all living as farmers Indebted to a landowner in Dresh. Their children were of mixed blood.Midnight Tides, Chapter 19, US SFBC p.583
A Letherii horse breeder lived on the wood's edge.Midnight Tides, Chapter 19, US SFBC p.576

After escaping the Tiste Edur invasion of Trate, Seren Pedac travelled to Breeder's Woods along with Iron Bars and his soldiers on the way to Letheras. They found the horse breeder and his family slain by deserters and rescued his horses from his burning barn. Seren Pedac entered the wood for some solitude and found a glade containing five half-buried granite statues of the Tarthenal gods. Their faces were largely worn away, but the Acquitor discovered their surfaces were burning hot and the grass around them was dead. As she departed, she uneasily wondered if the Tarthenal gods were really as dead as the Letherii had assumed. Tales of the Tarthenal conquest talked of holy sites being defended as if failing to do so would allow something terrible to escape.Midnight Tides, Chapter 19, US SFBC p.575/579-581
Later, the Tarthenal, Old Hunch Arbat, arrived as he did every month to dump faeces on the statues. As the statues hissed and blackened, he considered urinating on them as well.Midnight Tides, Chapter 19, US SFBC p.583-584
