Brie

Brie is a town to the north of the Celestial Empire, and ambiguously part of its territory. It is formed by a community of former members of the Empire who put themselves under the tutelage of the Birch Clan of Strigikin, learning the ways of Gaea. This began the community known as Mhend, which is based out of Brie. The humans, becoming lax in the ways of Gaea, had a falling out with the Owls over the harvesting of trees, and they left long ago for Uone. While Brie remains a scenic area, the great birch groves that once housed the owls are all but vanished.
