Poor roads, violent peaks and valleys, and extremely dense vegetation combine to impede travelers while baffling their natural sense of direction. Thought to be impenetrable except by foot, Kloden has been a living fortification against invasion since Gallia's inception. The woods are home to foxes, squirrels and rabbits, as well as larger animals like deer and boar and rarities such as the porcavian. Beeches form the majority of this deciduous forest, also rich in elm and oak. Untouched by human hands, some of Kloden's trees are thought to be over a thousand years old.
