Laurama

Laurama
The Lupin of Wenaria occupy a great forest and mountain range. Unlike their western cousins, the Lupin of Laurama are extremely militaristic – not surprising, when you consider their neighbors. To the north, they are bounded by the pestilent forest of Repose; to the west, the wild lands; and to the east, the despoilers of Gavstor with whom the Lupin have been engaged in an ongoing guerilla war since the first Gavstor slavers came to their lands in search of slaves flesh.

They do not build cities, but spread their community out to cover a wider footprint within the forest. Their presence is quiet and looming, more hidden than even the fae of Wenaria. Many travelers through Laurama have no idea that a Lupin lurks in the trees around them, watching their every movement for the slightest sign of aggression. Wenaria fae are intensely distrustful of humans more than any other Lupin.

Gavstor slavers are usually killed on sight, and any others that the Lupins even suspect of harmful intent never leave the forest. Even innocent travelers have been known to be attacked, stripped of their armor and weapons, and dumped at the borders of the forest, a clear sign that outsiders are not welcome. Other nations do not acknowledge Laurama as a sovereign power.
