Rangers within the Wilds

The Wilds are inimical to human life, and it is said that mere survival in Sharval demands compromises of both body and soul. The people of Entsteig believe the Wilds to be an enchanted place of fey spirits. Many of Entsteig's old customs and pagan rituals dating from before the kingdom's conversion to Zakarum are still practiced by Entsteig's inhabitants in the Wilds. The Witch Circles are based in the Wilds, and the rangers that patrol this region give themselves to the land, as equipment and technique alone will not salvage a hunt in the Wilds. Druids also exist in Sharval.

History

"I have entered the Sharval Wilds. In some ways, these forested lands remind me of the deep woods of Scosglen; in other ways, this is a far stranger place. The Zakarum faith still holds sway. It has come to a kind of truce with the old gods and myths that persist in the region's folk traditions. I wonder what will happen if the Cathedral of Light ever attempts to bring their demanding guidance to the people here..."

The Witches and Druids of Sharval have long been enemies. By the 13th century, they had been fighting and killing each other for centuries.

Corruptions spreads through Sharval

c. 1274, Albrecht led the Shardborne into Sharval, intent on making it their new home. The forest began to be twisted by an unseen force. At the same time, the fey began to emerge from Sharval in record numbers. They abducted numerous humans, consumed entire villages, and refused every attempt to appease them. As the region grew further unbalanced and more dangerous, the citizens of Sharval looked for a savior. The Shard-seeker was one such option.

During the Great Enmity, the Zakarum faith still held sway in the region, though it had come to a kind of a truce with the old gods and myths of the Wilds' folk traditions. The forested lands and the wolves of the region reminded Lorath Nahr of Scosglen in some ways, though in other ways he found it to be a far stranger place.
