Fokerdo

The Kugath village of Fokerdo lies along the forested coast of the Inland Sea between the Folyavulda outpost of Tunderdu Var and Kugavod. Fishing is the traditional pastime of the Kugath, and the Men of Fokerdo are accomplished fishermen. The waters around Fokerdo,however, are easily reachable by the canoes of Kugavod, and were that the only resource in the area, Fokerdo would nothave lasted as long as it has. The Kugath of Fokerdo instead make their living by foraging along paths that run through southwestern Agasha Dag, hunting deer and boar, and searching for stands of the valuable Renor tree. The Renor is prized for its use in ship-building, and teams of loggers from Tunderdu Var will pay handsomely to know the location of a Renor stand.Life for the Men of Fokerdo is dangerous, for the Elven population of Agasha Dag frowns on any trespass into the interior of the forest. Foragers must venture out in armed bands, taking care to include a tribal shaman in their party toward off the tall white "specters" who lurk in the shadows of the woodland. The shamans emphasize that members of the band must take care not to stray from the rest of the party,lest they be captured and devoured by the silent forestdemons. Though somewhat sensational, this warning is not far from the truth, for the Elves take seriously the implicit ban on passing too deep into the forest, and have been known to slay those who wandered too far out of ignorance, orblatant disregard for local custom.
