The Dead Forest is known to the Icena and is a matter of concern to them, though they do not yet dream of the full extent or implications of the crisis.
The Icena are led by their matriarch, the Yavethra. Upon the Yavethra’s death, a new matriarch is discovered through the Yavalis, the Blessing of Nature’s Chosen Matriarch, in which any living adult Icena woman may be chosen.
The village of Icena stands beside Lake Imryll, revered as a life-giving source of food and sustenance. The Icena believe unseen forces move within its depths beyond mortal sight.
Every century, the youngest warriors of the tribe undertake the Fellhunt, a ceremonial hunt in which the alpha Darkboar is tracked and slain.
