At the northeastern tip of the Forest of Giants lay the city of Rayne. It was the only free city in the entire forest and was heavily monitored by the Centaur Clan. They were the protectors of the wood and had smaller settlements dotted around the region.
Rayne itself was a unique city in that it was a treetop city. It was founded with the agreement that the underbrush would not be tarnished by excessive foot traffic. And so, to uphold this rule, it was constructed among the trees. The wide, girthy trunks of the great cloud lance trees were more than big enough to support a settlement.
Wood was brought in from outside, and a city was soon constructed. The only way in or out was through a series of suspension bridges that started outside the forest and made their way up and into the city proper. It was a peaceful city, popular with those who enjoyed the lifestyle that being among the trees entailed.
