Graywood is a small and bountiful territory in the far north, where the Giant Teeth mountains separate the Northern Human Empire from the Barbarian Lands. Oaks, beeches and alders grow in the wild forest. Oakwood, a smallish village in the middle of the Graywood, is the only built-up area. The Dragonheart family used to rule Oakwood on behalf of the Emperor; then the family died out. Since then the high priest of the temple of Esus has had the final word on everything happening here.
