=== Kyriska and the Ceyreto-Zydel Conflict ===
Shortly after their arrival and discovery by the people of [[Fort Khirom]], they were assimilated into the realm of Kyriska and made a princedom.
Not long after, they were approached by the [[Triumvirate of Ceyreto]] who asked for help in the recently-declared war against Zydel. The Faewood, an ever curious people, were happy to oblige in the Triumvirate's request and committed fully to the war against Zydel
=== The Wyrdwood Commonwealths ===
For a brew few years, The Faewood, and the Kryiskian Kingdom Reminants at the time, now Kingdoms, joined the Wyrdwood Commonwealth with the Faewood, and Thaambaile. Wyrdwood would have those under it construct canals and other mega projects, over tax those with mega industries and overall bred discontent in The Faewood and Fort Khirom after two of Fort Khirom's providences fell to over taxation.
Soon after both towns left, Wrydwood and Thaambaile would pass the national taxes around, until Thaambaile left Wrydwood and became its own trading port and fortress.

For a total of thirty or more years, helping Zethortal, and Tabo Loca build their towns, the Guild Hall rise and stability came to Kryiska and the Faewood as a whole, the nation of Blackthorn had extended a hand to them both absorbing the lake as thiers for a time. And all would thrive for a time under this understanding and partnership, until the War of the Rutwoods.
=== The War of the Rutwoods ===
Following the fall of Wyrdwood, Thaambaile grew bitter and hostile to outsiders, and mostly blamed Babba Yogurt (Bah-Bah Ya-Gurt), the Leader of the Faewoods for the fall of their once ally and their new spot of despots and piracy in this time. The Guldhirians had just settled on their lands, and the Zethoralians to them did not sit well either. The Fort Khirom and The Faewoods of Kryiska the never forgave and soon old rivalries broke out into war.
The Faewood's Role was to Guard the Homefront, deliver supplies to Guldhir and Our Armed forces of then Zethoral, and escort civilians in and out safely. The Faewood, in times of war proven themselves not as naïve outsiders, or Fairy Folk, but stealthy archers, and hunters that could infiltrate an enemy town to help in a cause.
=== The Ruthwauld Empire of Guldhir ===
After the War of the Rutwoods, a pyric victory came to Zethoral and Guldhir. Despite them not capturing their keep fully, the damage to their population of Thaambaile and their Allies was enough to consider the war over. Following a time after, Prince Vartillian and King Jon Dodbane offered Duke Babba Yogurt for dinner in Guldhir, where he was told of many situations, and how he had to honor his ancient pacts with Fort Khirom, and his Prince's Millitary Alliances as well. The Faewood left Zethortal, to honor their pacts with Fort Khirom and Guldhir, and never looked back, and to this day act as stand in Diplomat and Advising Ranger of the Region with his Silverhand Ranger Corps.

== Geography ==
The Faewood is mainly centred around northern taiga region of Ceyreto,
However, the Faewood itself and the surrounding Redwood Forest are at an unnatural constant Fall temperature year-round and is blanketed in a mystical fog in the Spring, Summer, and Winter.
In recent times, the woodlands of Faewood have become the target of illegal logging by outsiders, wishing to take advantage of Faewood's abundance of spruce trees and their lack of protection in rural areas.
