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 unchanged in their position and geology. But there were consequential changes that didn't immediately meet the eye. The reputation of the foothills and of 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. Darkon could beging 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. And the Forgotten Hills came to become a hideout for especially desperate or brave bandits, arguably making the northern frontier of Nova Vaasa a more dangerous place, especially along the East Timori Road and the Vaughn Dnar River between the Tepestani frontier and the Trished River.
