The story of the '''Northern Ithmia''' is one of strife, and one of healing. Sister to the [[Western Ithmia|Western]] and [[Eastern Ithmia]], she can be a gloomy place to wander, but the wild beauty and intriguing mysteries of this place emerge if you look closely enough. One such secret, now revealed, is a fallen marble idol, once the hiding place of the [[Infernus Occulum]], an ancient artifact involved in the birth of [[Keresis]], Goddess of Vengeance. | The story of the '''Northern Ithmia''' is one of strife, and one of healing.

Northern Ithmia is bound on the west and south by the [[Zaphar River]] and its tributary; and on the north and east by roads. Populated by a variety of wildlife, including elk, [[tengu]] and [[lamassu]], the forest is watched over by the [[forest spirit|spirit]] [[Thalia]]. Travellers may also encounter the small but dangerous [[buckawns]], who scout the area from their home base nearby in [[Forest Watch]]. Located at the heart of the forest is the city of [[Hashan]], Crown of the Ithmia. | Northern Ithmia is bound on the west and south by the [[Zaphar River]] and its tributary; and on the north and east by roads.

In the 220s, Hashan experienced a great deal of [[Expansion of Hashan|expansion]] from its more secluded nature as a small village into an urban city. Claiming portions of the forest and then destroying them to make way for the growing city, the project greatly angered [[Gaia]], the Earthmother, and left many forestals begrudging both the citizens and their [[patron]], [[Twilight]]. But as time passed the Ithmia began to heal, and the land to recover. Many saplings can now be found throughout the forest, growing bravely as a testament to the ongoing cycle of life and the forest's ability to overcome hardship. | In the 220s, Hashan experienced a great deal of [[Expansion of Hashan|expansion]] from its more secluded nature as a small village into an urban city.
