Western Ithmia

The Western Ithmia is an old forest comprised mainly of oaks and elms, located in the heart of Sapience. Separated from the Northern and Eastern Ithmias by the Zaphar River, the forest is bordered by the Prelatorian Highway to the south and a dirt road leading to Hashan on its northwest. Its shy inhabitants, the dryads, move quietly among the trees, and the forest was once watched over by Clio, Spirit of the Western Ithmia.

The forest is also home to the enclaval Primordial Forest (ancient temple of Gaia), the exit from the Cave of Maya, and the small village of Bagwar's Copse. Near its northwest edge lies the concealed Lake Narcisse, and at its southern tip once dwelled the druidic community of Sparrow's Rest before its Yggdrasian demise. Along with the typical creatures one might expect to find in the forest, the Western Ithmia is also home to golden lion tamarins, flower maidens, and dryads.
