The entire rugged and hilly Calushid Forest is west
of the rocky Calusha River, well within the territory of
the Aka-Huka and Aka-Pazi Kath, who jealously protect
it. The high meadows of Mount Bodari are home to an
extended shepherding clan that tends flocks eastward into
Endrunel Hundred, where they trade with mercantylers
and trappers from Heru on the southern bank of the
Kald. Numbering no more than 200, they are mistrusted
by both Kaldor and the Kath.
Forest Hundred
Kaldor’s unpopulated regions are administered by
forest wardens with assistance from paid royal foresters.
The wardens are charged with protecting and exploiting
resources for the benefit of the crown. Although forest
wardens are answerable to the sheriff, in practice they are
the sole arbiters of law and order within their hundreds.
Poachers may be captured and bound over to the sheriff
for justice but it is not uncommon for a forest warden to
resolve the issue directly.
