History of the Living Forest

As the seelie fey slowly lost control over the forest around Li'guth, they travelled north. Here they soon arrived at the living forest and the trees there once again had to deal with the fey.

As they were able to overcome their differences during the catastrophe that was the creation of the Flowing Peak, diplomatic relations were built between the intelligent trees and the fey. Many of them had saved the lives of members of the other or had been saved themselves and as such few wanted to continue the war.

A short while after the gnomes settled in Zimzankatan, the trees of the Living Forest had enough. These new creatures, gnomes, were not bound by the rules they had negotiated with the other fey. Fortunately, they were more localized and to avoid them, the trees simply wandered north.

Since it was thought that the fey in their entirety was the will of Li'guth when the Holy Order of Druids learned of their predicament it was quickly debated if help should be sent. Eventually, they decided that they needed to send help to stay in agreement with Li'guth's will. Although their initial attempts at being mediators with the Unseelie fey, were not successful they soon decided to try to help open portals into the Faewild.

As magical theory further developed the portals became much easier to open. Eventually, it only took a few powerful individuals to open a permanent portal that did not require a continual supply of magic. This allowed the fey to roam freely about as they liked. Still, the continued opening of these portals quickly became too much for many of the native residents of E'ath as the Faewild would often spill out of these portals if left unguarded.
