Forgotten Hills

The Forgotten Hills are the steep and rugged southern foothills of the Mountains of Misery. Their southern limit constitutes, in effect, the northern frontier of northwestern Nova Vaasa. In 740 BC as part of the Great Upheaval this frontier, which had been shared with Arak, became one shared with Darkon. The Forgotten Hills were in their location and geology unchanged. But there were changes that didn't immediately meet the eye. The reputation of the foothills and the mountains beyond them for being fey haunted lessened with the passing of the years. Incursions by fey into Nova Vaasa were both greatly diminished and shifted west to the vicinity of the Tepestani border. Travellers who dared spend the night in what was formerly Arak no longer systematically failed to return. And those that did return had been beset by things other than fey. The Forgotten Hills grew to become a hideout for especially brave or desperate bandits, arguably making the frontier with Darkon a more dangerous place, especially along the East Timori Road and the Vaughn Dnar River between the Tepestani frontier and the Trished River. And Darkon began work on the Strigos Road which, when complete, will join the East Timori Road at Liara in Nova Vaasa to the Argentus Road and the Tempe Road just east of Tempe Falls.
