Perta-Hana'an.

The Highwood is the last great ancient elven forest, untouched by axe for thousands of years. From the dawn of ages it has been defended by elven rangers known as the Perta-Hana'an.

Locals to the region both fear and revile them for the harsh punishments they mete out on trespassers; this is made all the worse by an unclear border, seeing as the elven treaty was with Thay and not the Warforged who currently hold claim to the region. However the treacherous terrain and growing troll problem has forced them to withdraw military support. This leaves the Rangers with unquestioned authority in the region and the old words "fear the forest" ring truer than ever.
