The forest itself sits in the lowlands of Shonar.  It’s a long, dark wood and not a place for outsiders.  I’ve never gone deep into those woods, but stories speak of long dead bodies still hanging from their nooses in the trees: a morbid reminder of Gallowbranch’s punishment for the uninvited violating their borders.

Gallowbranch are good folks so long as you stick to the borders and respect their privacy.  They trade a little with the other clans of the Shonar region and have helped out when danger has threatened their neighbors.  More than anything they value their independence and their forest.

No one that I’ve spoken to knows why the clan refuses to allow any race other than those who “bear the spirit of the beast” to live there.  The only races in the clan are Children of the Hunt, Minotaur, Slytha, Gila, and Wyvern-Kin. Gallowbranch will only allow visitors to enter the interior of the woods who are of those races.

Some wonder what secret they are guarding in those woods, and many a dark rumor has circled around speaking of great betrayal of the past.  Whether the betrayal was by the beast-men or against them, no one is sure.  Gallowbranch insists they are nothing more than simple folk with their own ways who want to be left to live as they are without outsiders’ influence.  This is a stance they are willing to defend with sword, spell, claw, and fang."
