the smokey forest.

The smokey forests are believed to be as old as Our Homeland herself. Much like a wildfire, which spreads and burns through trees and foliage, the herds of the smokey forest have come and gone. No king has held such a title for long, and it is believed that these woods are haunted for that very reason. The current King, Pierce, does not believe in such omens; in fact, he feels that these woods have merely been disrespected in the past - making his herd and his home a welcoming place for those who too have been wronged in their lives.

there are 3 members in this herd.
