The Beon is home to predominantly deciduous trees in a mild temperate climate similar to France and Spain. Many tribes of Dra’nafod are bound to the trees in this forest, and there are numerous Ochae’nafod tribes bound to native wildlife. Along with these two groups of Nafod, a couple herds of Eain’Idayn have made homes for themselves in this forest. While the Nafod tribes settled here in ancient times, not long after their creation, the Eain’Idayn came with Idayn travelers. While the Idayn moved eastward to eventually settle in the Ardir, their Eain’Idayn companions settled in open lands throughout the west of Kalesten. Eventually, they were driven out of the Heartland by humans, and the remaining herds made their homes throughout the western grasslands and the Beon Forest.
As Belvon grew into an industrial nation, they required wood and coal to burn for the engines, and mountains to mine their metals from. As the mountains lay across the forest, it made sense to expand eastward. The Belvonese government is not as willing to negotiated with the natives of this forest as Kosony had been with the Ardir. Instead, the Belvonese treat the Eain’Idayn and Ochae’nafod as abominations and lesser life-forms. Otherwise, Ochae’nafod or Dra’nafod are considered remnants of ancient cultures that have no place in the modern world, thus are doomed to die out in Belvon eyes. While those on the front lines are aware of the existences of these fantastic races, most Belvonese citizens reject the very notion of their existence. The soldiers and engineers on the front lines believe that it is better if their countrymen maintain this belief. After all, as far as they’re concerned, the creatures of the Beon Forest will soon be extinct.
To combat intrusion, the Nafod have influenced the flora and fauna to become more aggressive. Ochae’nafod and Eain’Idayn work together to ambush scouting parties and raid campsites in the dead of night. For now, the Belvonese have found these raids too much of a nuisance to keep sending men in, and have found ways to work around the natives of the forest. However, they are continuing to scheme and find ways to get the resources they need and rid the world of what they consider to be primitive races.
