Helsera
Seras'Hel
Helsera is located in the North of the Colonies. It is home to an Ancient Forest which was around long before man roamed freely upon the lands. Historically, Helsera has had a large amount of unworldly beasts and creatures that roam the lands such as Undead and Monsters. There is a widely held belief that a Magician lives in the Ancient Forest using Magic to summon these abominations into existence. However there is evidence that other magical cretures exist naturally in the forest also, though no-one ever really sees more than a glimpse of these creatures. They include such creatures as Unicorns and Wood Elves. The Government of Giblot has quashed these rumours however. Any sightings of these creatures are ruthlessly suppressed.
The Helserans obsession with magical creatures and their strange practices have done nothing for their reputation within the rest of Giblot. The Giblot citizenry has always perceived the Helserans and their practices as abhorrent. This view is also reinforced by the Helserans apparent Lack of Loyalty. The Helserans secretive nature is also a factor. Which, although through no fault of their own, does nothing to quell the suspicions of others.
Helsera has long been a tourist destination for travellers and explorers alike. With the vast forest and some beautiful scenery a small, but substantial travelling industry has been setup. Alot of travellers come to try and catch a glimpse of the magical creatures that are sighted here. However local folklore says that any that get a good view of these creatures shall never return from the forest. Although these tales have never been confirmed, more travellers visit Helsera than ever leave it.
Once Helsera was firmly under Giblot Control, but some time ago now they abandoned Giblot to join the Assassins. Many in Giblot still view it as a temporary arrangement however. Only time will tell what happens to Helsera in the future...
