The Empress's Forests

The Empress's Forests (Kougou no Mori 皇后の森  in Elven Tongue) are by far the largest Elven realm in the known world. It encompasses all elves, including Gold Elves, Silver Elves and Copper Elves (or High, Dark and Wood Elves) and as a result is a greatly diverse realm. Most of the friendlier settlements near the border are populated by small towns populated dedicated to the protection of the forest. Further east, are the Dark Woods, which are far more dangerous to travellers who go there without the consent of the Empress or the Dark Elves. Uniting the disparate clans and groups of the forest are the Everliving Empress and her Shogun within the Forbidden City.
