12.9.1 The Aalen Forest

The Aalen Forest, discovered in modern times by Haidion, the Wanderer, lies
west of the Vashnar range, which accounts for its relative privacy, given that
the cities of the Sapience continent lie on the eastern and northern side of
the Vashnar range.

It is a very old redwood forest, containing, along with a wide variety of
animals (bears, rabbits, deer, and so on), the racial home of the Tsol'aa.
Long-separated from the rest of the Sapience continent and the rest of their
race, they had been forgotten until Haidion managed to find a route over the
always-treacherous Vashnars.
