Up there in those cold northern forests, those deep mountainside groves of heavy lumber, we find the FORESTER, the near-wild man of the woods, who lurks out here, checking the best choice timber to cut and ship downriver. Foresters typically carry a Forester's Axe, which is a huge two-handed chopping instrument that does damage as per a Cleaver. They will also have a sidearm of some description; roll on the table below to determine what:

Foresters are known from the northern woods, such as the foothills of the Icefinger Mountains, the Forest of Fiends, the Forest of the Night, and the upper valleys of Frostholm, in Allansia. In the Old World, they are found especially in the Northlands and the highlands of the many Mauristatian Principalities (such as Barandrun of the Forest of Phantoms in Mortvania), while Khul sees them operating in the north-east wilds, such as the outskirts of Affen Forest, or, over in Ximoran, along the margins of the desolate Mithrir Forest.
