BROCLIANDE FOREST

Nestled in the heart of Brittany, Brocliande has existed since time began. A forest of legends, it is said to have harbored Merlin and Vivians love and the resentment of Morgan le Fay. You may wander through this forest for a hundred years and never see a single squirrel, glimpsing instead a golden tree or a sword arising from its waters. Ys, the capital of Cornouaille, was once a prosperous city, but one day the keys to the doors protecting it from the ocean were stolen. The sea flooded the city, burying it underwater. Princess Dahut, guardian of Ys, refused to leave her citys walls and transformed into a mermaid who still watches over the inhabitants of Douarnenez Bay.
