Shilmista

Shilmista, also known as the Forest of Shadows, was a forest near the Snowflake Mountains. Its land encompassed the kingdom of the wild elf Elbereth.

Defenses
The ancient trees were rumored to be imbued with magic and, if called, would provide aid in battle. This was proved by Cadderly Bonaduce, who summoned them with the help of a tome written Dellanil Quil'quien to fight an army of orcs led by Ragnor and Dorigen of Castle Trinity.

History
Galladel, Elbereth's father, ruled the forest. Galladel was Dellanil Quil'quien's great-grandson. The ancient forest was invaded by a huge army led by the ogrillon Ragnor. Ragnor killed Galladel, and Elbereth was proclaimed king. When Cadderly Bonaduce and Elbereth aroused the ancient trees of the forest, the elves were able to purge the forest of orcs, goblins, and any other enemies.
