The Maps of Myrist

Located inside the southeastern edge of the recently re-opened Jaggedpine Forest, and just outside of Qeynos Hills, the Surefall Glade is home to the human and half elf rangers and druids of Karana. This community is otherwise known as the Jaggedpine Tree Folk. This glade is allied with Qeynos and is formerly part of its territory, although the rangers and druids enjoy self-rule, operating outside the laws and regulations that are enforced by Qeynos.

The glade itself is a very beautiful, peaceful place described by a high wall of granite that separates it from the rest of the Jaggedpine Forest. Many enormous redwoods may be found here, limiting the amount of sunlight that enters the dense woodlands. A small, crystalline pond can be found in the glade, fed by a gentle waterfall pouring over a massive cliff.

Overlooking the pond, the granite cliff contains winding caves where the bears of the glade reside with the unfailing protection of the Jaggedpine Tree Folk. In one section of the caves, deep crystal pools of water cover the ground, having somehow seeped into the cave system from the nearby Hatchling River. In most instances, the caves are extremely peaceful and quite lovely, but one must be careful not to invoke the bears' tempers, else one finds himself not only at the mercy of the ferocious creatures, but of the Jaggedpine Tree Folk as well.

The ranges and druids have put up several buildings within this cozy corner of the vast Jaggedpine Forest. Their small wooden and stonework structures do nothing to compromise the natural purity of the region. Near a crystalline pond, the rangers can be found practicing their art – archery. The druids live inside the glade's largest redwood, having settled within an enormous gap that formed in the ancient tree centuries ago.
