Centered in the majestic lands of the Neutrals is a large forest of pine trees, stretching farther than the eye can see. These trees tower over anyone who comes into view of them, as well as those with in, and they stand guard over all of the Royal Neutral Lands. These large trees create the concrete barrier between those of the Royal Herd and any outer being. With in the land are several rivers and streams that crisscross and dance there way through the woods. Mixed with many delightful clearings of wild flowers, small ponds, and lakes, and wild trees of fruit, this land is a paradise hidden with in a protective barrier. The land is an exceptionally well sheltered area, and despite it's beauty and allure, it may take a while for any new comers to learn both the ways of the land, and how to navigate through it.

King: None
Queen: Delarose
