Forgwyre

Forgwyre is a region in Galben, Nova.

Forgwyre used to be a continuous battleground between northern and southern settlements thousands of years ago. After making peace, it started hosting annual festivals and quickly became prosperous. Technology boomed in branches unknown to modern civilisation. Baethin delighted in reigning destruction on Forgwyre, forever tainting it with darkness and swampland. Remnants, and perhaps even some inhabitants, of the old cities continue to exist among the swamps, although just shells of what they once were. Even today, the Creeping Darkness continues to expand, tainting more land year by year. Evil creatures inhabit the lands and regularly attack neighbouring regions, although they are rarely intelligent or organised. Usually some twisted monstrosity will just rampage until stopped with no clear motivation. A distant, bright glow can be seen coming from deep within Forgwyre that seems to permeate the darkness that hangs over the place. In some parts, this is rumoured to be a piece of Baethin’s own heart and is responsible for the creation of such evil as well as the continual spread of darkness. As such, the light is usually referred to as Baethin’s Heart, although few know the legend behind how it got this name. Creatures from here seem to spread this darkness to other creatures they come into contact with. Sometimes just the terrifying appearance of them is enough for the darkness to implant itself in another.
