Emerald Graves

The Emerald Graves are a forested region of the Dales in Orlais. The area is an ancient elven burial ground but has been partly occupied by Orlesians in more recent times. They were formerly known as the Emerald March when the Dales were still an independent nation and are referred to as the Greatwood by the local Orlesian nobility.

Background
It is said that each tree found in the Graves is a reminder of a life lost during the Exalted March against the Dales. The southern half of the region is relatively civilized, marked with road signs and Orlesian estates, though they have fallen into disrepair during the War of the Lions. Further into the region, the woods teem with wildlife and vast foliage. The area is home to many common beasts such as wolves, brontos, and nugs. Some of such wildlife are unique creatures—giants, great bears, and a dragon that prowls through the northern-most region. The forest is also home to a group of Orlesian refugees, led by a man called Fairbanks, and the Freemen of the Dales, deserters of Celene and Gaspard's armies who have taken to harassing the refugees.
