The Mierani Forest

The Mierani Forest (pronounced meer-AWN-ee)^[1] was until recently part of northwestern Varisia; it is now annexed to New Thassilon. The forest is one of the ancestral homes of the elves in Avistan.^[2]^[3]

Geography

Situated between the Calphiak Mountains and the Velashu Uplands, the Mierani Forest also borders the Steaming Sea to its north.^[2] The forest is known for its ancient, verdant fir trees, pines, and redwoods,^[4] and plentiful wildlife, gently maintained by the elves.^[5]

Elves of the Mierani

Razorhorn.

The elves are quite protective of the forest and go to great lengths to keep intruders out, especially lumberjacks and monsters.^[5] Although they live throughout the forest, the greatest concentrations can be found in the villages of Crying Leaf, cliff-side Arsmeril, and the ruins of their ancient capital, Celwynvian.^[6]^[7] The job of clearing the forest of danger after the elves' long period away from Golarion continues: they regularly battle ettercaps and carnivorous plants, but their main target is the green dragon Razorhorn.^[5] Some Mierani elves are so distraught over their inability to retake their ancient city since their return, that they leave the forest to become Forlorn.^[8]

New Thassilon

After the founding of New Thassilon in 4718 AR,^[9] Runelord Belimarius moved quickly to annex the Mierani Forest, though the elves who live there oppose this part of Edasseril's expansion.^[3]
