Heartwood

None braver are there, and none more true. Never was a name more apt, for they are the surging heartwood of their race entire.The clans of **Heartwood Glade** are said to be the most courageous and determined of all the sylvaneth. This glade has long worshipped the hunting god Kurnoth as Alarielle’s spirit-consort and equal. Since the appearance of the Kurnoth Hunters, the clans of Heartwood have made every effort to welcome them and facilitate their hidden missions if they can. When a Wild Hunt is called, many members of Heartwood heed the call, and its Wargroves have fought in some of the most savage battles of Alarielle’s new war.
