Erech Forest

This remote forest lies outside the domain of Rashemen, but its dark and bitter woods are the home of angry spirits, hostile plants, and evil fey. The secret sisterhood of the durthans, aggressive counterparts of the hathrans, use the Erech Forest as their private refuge, just as the hathrans use the Urlingwood. The durthans invisibly travel to and from the Erech to meet with their sisters, train guardian beasts, and explore dark magic. Assassin vines, night hunters, owlbears, shambling mounds, and at least one gray render guard the forest, in addition to evil telthors. Most dangerous are the durthans themselves, who slay any intruders. Few people suspect the existence of the durthans and fewer still know of their base in the Erech, so it remains secure against concerted investigation. The durthans are in the process of building a fortress for themselves, dubbed Citadel Tralkarn.
