Quelling of the hills
Before the war, the magical sect of Ikr' Ruea established themselves in the hills south of Featherbeak's Scar and north-east of the Emperor's Forest. Deep beneath the hills a huge cavern system expanded, some tunnels running even so far as the inner hills of the Emperor's Forest. The caverns were a great place to train new magicians, as a Geyser was found in one of the deeper caves, providing the tired recruits with renewable source of magical power.

In the last years of The Quelling, the gryphons and elk of the north discovered this secret location and collapsed the caverns on the deer and the geyser. The few deer that survived were soon slaughtered by the enemy forces.

A sparse forest nowadays covers the hills, the trees bearing silver tinted leaves—a direct result of the geyser’s power spilling from its destroyed shell within the collapsed caverns seeping into the ground.
