12.5.10 The Aureliana Forest

The Aureliana forest is often considered the twin of the Black Forest in the
same way that the Northern Ithmia is the twin of the Western Ithmia. This is
not, however, entirely accurate. Unlike the Ithmian forests, which are
seperated solely by the river Zaphar, areas of grassland seperate the Black
and Aureliana forests and they are not, in fact, part of the same overall
forest. The Aureliana lies directly east of the Black Forest, on the other
side of the Urubamba river. To the southwest of it lies the forbidding
Mannaseh swamp, and to the east is beautiful Lake Vundamere.
