Prior to the schism, the northeastern region took a more relaxed approach to the [[Dragonsong Code]] (the tenets and codes that sought moral righteousness) due to the large presence of woodland folk like the elves of the [[Green Reaches]], which are known for enjoying life and preferring contact with nature more than following, what they considered, rigorous values. The elves were not alone; the woodsmen that provided much of the firewood that fueled the forges to the southwest were men of nature that believed in benevolence and the balance between laws and freedom.

The deep [[Blackwood]] was also tampered with, according to the braver [[rangers]] that dare travel there. Thus far, the extent of this corruption has yet to be fully understood. | During the occupation by [[Sinthar Bloodstone]]'s army when the most urban areas except Eastern Gate were sacked and partially razed, the land was scarred by the horde but the woods were unscathed except in the region of Karali, the only stretch where elves did not dwell.
