The Grey Woods were a forest on the Great Continent. To the north lay Carcyn and the Great River; to the northwest, Halstead; to the distant west, the Great Ocean; to the southeast, Aldril and the Bay of Pearls; to the southeast, the Brown Hills; to the east, Gryphon Mountain.[1] It belonged to the elves, and centuries before the humans arrived at the Great Continent, it was the location of a dramatic civil war.[2]
It was also one of the locations where the Ka'lian would meet. Shortly before one such meeting, Prince Haldric landed at the Bay of Pearls, bringing with him refugees from the Green Isle.[3] He was brought by Ka'lian councilwoman Lady Dionli to the Grey Woods to negotiate his people's place in the land. It was decided that the refugees would be given various places to settle, including the plains surrounding the Grey Woods.[4]
