(Separating this into two articles, the Aalen and the Tsol'aa village... hope that's okay; it's mainly for the sake of consistency with the other forest articles) |

The '''Aalen Forest''' was first discovered in modern times by [[Haidion]], the Wanderer. It is a massive forest of colossal redwoods nestled below the [[Vashnar Mountains|Western Vashnar]] mountain range and the more recently discovered [[Thraasi Foothills]]. In the centre of the forest lies the racial home of the [[Tsol'aa]], a village of tree houses, built right into the trunks of large redwoods. To the southwest of the forest lies the [[Muurn River Valley]], where adventurers can purchase ferry rides to the [[:Category:Islands|islands]] of the [[Sefyric Ocean]]. The forest is bordered on all other sides by the treacherous Vashnars, with only one known path that leads over the mountains. A small [[Aalen stream|stream]] makes its way through the trees just south of the [[Tsol'aa village]], and a small Shrine of the Hunt can be found in the northern trees. | |||
Outside of the village, few people inhabit this forest. [[Ranthal]], a [[Druid]], wanders beneath the redwoods, and | A variety of animals make their home in the forest, including rabbits, foxes, mighty grizzlies, tiny [[fairies]], and the feared [[basilisks]]. Additionally, two unique species of butterfly, the funereal duskywing and the morning cloak, make their homes here, remnants of the days of [[Landmarks|Landmarking]]. Dancing among the wildlife, deeply connected to the essence of the forest itself, is [[Terpsichore]], [[forest spirit|Spirit]] of the Aalen. | ||
Outside of the village, few people inhabit this forest. [[Ranthal]], a [[Druid]], wanders beneath the redwoods, and [[Tremayn]] forages for food for his people. A small shack can be found in the northeast corner, where [[Furze]] and his wife, [[Sherily]], make their home. Furze is often at odds with the Tsol'aa, because of his desire to cut down the trees for lumber. The forest's small [[Mithraea|Mitran]] chapel, once home to the priest [[Ti'lanen]], was destroyed by dream-prophesied lava in 480 AF. | |||
Hidden behind a curtain of water is the recently discovered [[Saiha'balan Grotto]], an eerie home to a small cult of the Tsol'aa. | |||
