Dominions: Lothbarth Forest

The great evergreen forest north of the Great Bay, up to the Landsplit River, held by elven clans who guard it from outsiders [Alm-Lothbarth]. By AC 1019 most of these clans acknowledge the elven Kingdom of Nordalfheim under King Elarianthas Blackblade (see Final Range Domains). Stat blocks are from the AC 1019 Almanac entries (linked per dominion); numbers are as the Almanac gives them.
