The Northern Marches
Welcome to the Thornwood...
Considered by many to be a place of mystical energy and forgotten legends, the Thornwood is a realm apart from the Kingdom of Arnesse. Home to an ancient people who share a powerful connection with the land and the spirits of the wood, it is a place of wonder for some and terror for others - for those who travel too deeply and carelessly into the wood and stray from the paths are rarely seen again. This is a place of deep sorrows and ancient grudges, home to a people who have suffered beneath the yoke of occupation and while bent were not broken. It is a place of hope, for the people of the wood are survivors who have protected their legacy from those who would see it undone. But as the winds of change blow through the trees of the Thornwood and beckon the Woodfolk to leave their forest, the question remains if they will heed the call and what they will do once they have left their sanctuary.

The Attire of the Thornwood
House Innis is characterized by a desire to blend with the forest. This is most heavily featured in their choice of colors which are natural greens, blues, yellows, browns, tans, and black. They are not so avoidant of embroidery or striking features in their clothing as House Richter is; they enjoy putting a spotlight on nature imagery in their fashion. Hoods and light cloaks are popular among all classes given the rainy weather.
