Delavia is a good country caught in a bad place. It shares a long and troubled border with the Elderwood - a place of evil and a source of constant worries and problems. To the west is Marigund another source of trouble but no where near as deadly as the Elderwood. The borders with the Elderwood are empty of people for a distance of twenty miles. Keep that way by fear of the evil there and by creatures that raid out from there. For a long time the Baron was more worried about Marigund but recently the threat from the woods has begun to occupy more of his time. Patrols are maintained along the entire border.
