Greenway

Greenway was the last major city towards the north on the southern part of the empire. Further north after that city was the vast and treacherous Black Forest. The vast forest that was covered in darkness most of the time was about 10 percent of the empire's entire landmass. There were poisonous swamps, beast burrows and the nest of some ancient creatures, but the Black Forest too had rare alchemy ingredients and ores, due to the terrifying legends and the inherent danger of the forest itself, very few people will willingly venture in there.

For many years, the imperials had tried to develop this vast forest as leaving such a fertile land untilled in the heart of the empire was a waste, but the Black Forest had an unusual vigor plus the various monsters living in there made the development progress extremely slow. And after so many years, the imperials had only managed to build a few cities along the edges of the forest. Greenway was one of them.
