[color=LightGreen][b]Name:[/b][/color] Seigneurie des Loups, Montagne Noire, Paysage d'Hiver
[color=LightGreen][b]Summary:[/b][/color] a vast, snowy forest in the deep North of Orvell.
[color=LightGreen][b]Location:[/b][/color] in the northwest, just beyond the borders of the known world.
[color=LightGreen][b]Description:[/b][/color] far in the North, stands one of the greatest forests of the world, perenially cloaked in snow. Here, summers are short, and winters are long and icy, and a cold, lonesome death is the reward for those who attempt to climb the great mountains of the Seigneurie des Loups. The forest is thick, dense with towering firs, larches, spruces and pines, suspended in an aura of frozen stillness, covered in a mantle of frost. Moss and lichens grow on the great boulders and rocky slopes of the dark, looming mountains, shrouded in mist and clouds. Days are short and bleak, the Sun barely visible in the grey sky, while nights are long, as the packs of wolves offer their howling prayers to the Moon, enthroned in a starless sky.
[color=LightGreen][b]Denizens:[/b][/color] much of the forest is unexplored, yet untrodden by human foot. The name of the region is derived by those who are the forest's main denizens: wolves. Stalking the woods in great packs, they are the grey and black guardians of the forests: if a traveller is so lucky not to fall to hypothermia first, he will most likely meet his end in the shape of a hungry wolfpack. Many other animals live within: bears, foxes, owls, sparrows are just few of them.

The crude carvings and drawings found in the rocks at the edge of the forest, representing strange figures of spirits and animals, are still a mystery to many, as are the crudely arranged stones, vaguely resembling altars.
