Rakutan Forest
Rakutan forest is a lush valley spanning forty miles at the base of a small mountain range on the continent of Allondell, snaking around to and fro into a rough S-shape around the mountains. Running along the length of the valley floor is a flowing river, with rocky shores on its banks. Most of the valley is covered in the thick foliage of evergreen trees, hiding much of the valley from view overhead. The area is rich in minerals and ore, and as such has become a popular mining round, with certain areas near the mountains cleared and mines set up. A number of these mines have fallen into disrepair, becoming decrepit and abandoned. Others, however, remain active, and have a steady workforce from the towns in the region, as well as from as far out as Minervum.
The Rakutan forest is fairly isolated due to its location. A rough road has been worked alongside the valley opposite of the mountain range, though development of this road is ongoing and decidedly difficult for the workers, and as such it is fairly common for travelers going along it to be delayed by work forces. Also, the high amount of ore within the region, coupled with the dense forestry on either side of the valley, hampers radio signals going to and from the valley region, making communication with the outside world difficult. As such, a number of undesirables tend to hide in the forest, safe from prying eyes.
