The Gamboge lies between Nyrond and the Pale, east
of Midmeadow Town along the Flinty Hills and the
lower Rakers. It is an old and especially dense forest.
Neither state has a certain claim to the place, so it is
virtually an independent nation unto itself, and its
folk treat and trade with the gnomes, halflings, and
even the dwur to the east in the hills and mountains.
Although there is no love for the Kingdom of
Nyrond, the Gambogefolk regard it far more favorably
than they do the Pale, so allegiance is typically
sworn to Nyrond and the arms of the kingdom are
occasionally shown within the forest to prevent any
takeover by minions of the Theocrat. It is rumored
that the demi-humans (and humankind too) within
the region are seeking to ally with their fellows in the
Flinty Hills and create a demi-human realm, but this
is highly doubtful due to the threat of the humanoid
hordes and the Overking. The Gamboge is sometimes
a dangerous place, as humanoid bands and monsters
from the mountains use it as a route in their excursions
to pillage the territory roundabout.
