	Tepest is a rural and heavily forested domain with a fairy tale like quality to it. Although the land is infested with many dangers- malevolent [[goblin]]s and insidious [[hag]]s- it is the beguiling and manipulative influence of the [[fey]] that bothers the [[Tepestani]] the most. Ever since the [[Grand Conjunction]] of [[740 BC]] that resulted in the [[Shadow Rift]] eating up several neighboring lands, the [[Tepestani Inquisition]] has served to root out the fey and their agents. Unfortunately, the Inquisition is not terribly discrete in how it defines their targets- such as [[elves]], [[gnome]]s, [[sorcerer]]s- are all prime targets for being [[hunted]]. As with any [[witch hunt]], sometimes entirely innocent targets find undeserved fates. Such false accusations have caused [[Wyan of Viktal]], the Inquisition's [[founder]], to put serious limits on the growth of the Inquisition's reach. However, the resurgence of the Inquisition's popularity and power may have resulted in a movement behind his ability to control.

	The Wytchwood is the heart of the fey. It is the area most full of fey of various sorts. It is second only to the Hagwood in danger and that is because no hags live here. Despite the lack of hags the locals consider it near certain death to enter and they are right. There may be no hags but plenty of Sith and Black Sprites. Except for very powerful parties only fools and madmen wishing to die enter the woods here. There is a clearing that is safe however and that is where [[Viktal]] is. The hills that are part of the clearing are rich in copper and tin ore.		The Wytchwood is the heart of the fey. It is the area most full of fey of various sorts.

	Tepesti are considered unfriendly by most as they never invite anyone anywhere. This is a misreading of the Tepesti who are actually quite friendly. Those who know them know it is to guard against the fey. They have no problems with people they know dropping by unannounced , they simply don't invite them as they could be actually inviting a fey in disguise. In Tepest no fey can enter a building uninvited. As such no inn rents rooms, they rent cabins. If a fey is accidently invited to a visitor's dwelling only the cabin is at risk not the whole inn.

	The Hagwood is a big exception. It is a really spooky forest full of dead trees , undead treants, death's head trees and other nasty dread plants. It looks like a place only a fool would enter and that impression is very correct. Only truly powerful and well equipped parties can enter and come back out alive without a lot of luck on their side. The Three Sisters live in the heart of it and only the truly stupid or stupendously powerful will dare enter without their leave. There are no settlements anywhere near the Hagwood as Tepesti are neither stupid or suicidal. The road going through the Hagwood is fairly safe however, if you stick to the road you only have to worry about typical dangers such as highwaymen or normal wolves. All hags there are [[Ravenloft Hag]].		The Hagwood is a big exception. It is a really spooky forest full of dead trees , undead treants, death's head trees and other nasty dread plants.
