DEVELOPMENT DIARY 7
Forested and cannibal Valenwood! Province of the agile Bosmer elfs! Tales of your wonderful land and mysterious inhabitants are told from from Necrom to Daggerfall! May Y'ffre mantain the pact forever!
Your exotic tree-hugging flesh-consuming culture was explored in detail in the fiction work "
A Dance in Fire" and your famous wandering tree-cities are known throughout all of Tamriel. The Wild Hunt and the Green Pact being a topic of much discussion.
In the Interregnum a great part of Valenwood is outside the control of the King and, instead, is under the leadership of independent dukes and duchesses. Much work is needed to unite the Bosmer people and the Camoran Kings must act fast to not lose their everlasting realm.

All of Valenwood is under the same religion and the same culture. That may seem to be a good thing, but as they share the same religion and culture group with the Altmer and Maormer; an invasion by those two forces is made easier. Actually, Maormer invasions are a common threat to all southern Bosmers. To say nothing of the Colovian invasions that are a common treat to all northern Bosmers...

Southpoint Duchy: Comically named in a similar way that Northpoint, the Southpoint Duchy is an interesting place as its ruled by the most powerful Bosmer woman of the region and is under constant threat by both the Altmer and Maormer. In fact, a part of your duchy is already under the control of an underaged Altmer! How dare they!?

Haven Duchy: The Dukedom of Haven couldn't be more different than it's namesake! While you hold one of the biggest duchies in the land you're also a good target for both the elf invaders and the dangerous Khajiit! The Bosmer and the Khajiit have a history of conflict and you must pray that uniting Elsweyr keeps the Mane occupied for time enough so you may pursue the Camoran Throne.
