Nature and the Wildwood

The setting is a clearing carved from a vast forest, and the wildwood is both a physical refuge and a spiritual realm; characters move through it for counsel, battle, and connection to ancestral ways, contrasting the ordered but oppressive Roman civilization.

The dense thicket, oak-lawn, and glade of the wildwood serve as both setting and tactical advantage, highlighting the deep connection between the Markmen and their forested homeland.
