Emerald Graves

The emerald shire is a lost region within the Reaching Forest that is marked by a number of large opaque green glass panels on the forest floor, made of what is known as Shire glass. Occasionally the panels will rise up from the ground and stand 30 to 40 feet tall, with intricate depictions of foreign scenes and an unknown language.

Its name comes from the first scholar to discover and report finding this area, they suspected these monoliths were graves, but further study suggested it may act as a calendar or time-keeping device of some sort. Other further posit that it may be an agricultural device of some sort, as the forest and grass around it well-maintained and thick, suggesting an outside influence over the rest of the forest. The nature of the glassy structures certainly are puzzling, and some figure it may be a complex lock or puzzle to protect something lost in time from intruders who seek to pillage it. All who come to study these monoliths reports a different experience and come up with different theories, but the truth is that no one knows for sure.

Some find the area very different in nature, reporting the area was 'terrifying' or 'hostile' in nature.
