Burnt Wilds

Located Northwest of Doras and due South of the Burnt Mountains the burnt wilds are a place of ancient stories and creatures.

Environment
The Burnt Wilds are made up of forested swamp, hills and shallow caves. Mist from the mountains slide southward and grows off the waters in the swamp to create a narrow field of vision. The Wilds are known to be host the rarest and oldest of beings and creatures that once inhabitated the Westfold long before the time of Milo the Conqueror.

Inhabitants
The Burnt Wilds host creatures of legends as well as creatures of old. The most commonly known of these creatures are the Gnolls which are said to still roam in hored among the hills leading to the Burnt Mountains. Two Gnoll villages are known and mapped on the edges of the wilds and a third the farthest south is known to be abandoned.

The Gnolls of the wilds grow more hesitant, and intelligent than gnolls of other areas. They have an increased sense of smell and hearing, but a smaller field of vision. They are more agile and less reliant on their muscles than other Gnolls bands.

The Burnt Wilds is also said to be one of the ancient homes to the god of Travel. Other gods are said to have once inhabitated the wilds as well shunning the known world out of fear.

History
The Burnt Wilds were mapped to be three times the size of their current size around the time of Milo the Conqueror. It is said the Burnt Wilds' swamp went up to the doorstep of Sintaro itself and the beings of the Old City migrated out of the Burnt Wilds ages ago. It is fabled that much of the Westfold was covered in the wild lands when the oceans were higher and the world had more magic.

Currently the wilds stand their smallest, most dangerous, and least inhabitated size. It has been many years since any explorers or beings of intelligence dared to set foot into the wilds.
