@TheEdVerse Was Herne's Wood, the Utter Eastern name for Sempadan Forest in Blood & Magic, named by the colonizing Ffolk/Northlanders or the indigenous Mar? Did either group worship the deity Herne in the 600's, and do they still do so post-Godswar now that Malar took his guise?

1)
Herne’s Wood is only the enchanted northwesternmost corner of Sempadan Forest. It was named by the Mar, as they held it to be the abode of Herne and sacred to him. All sentients in the Realms believe in all the gods, and… 2)
…worship them at least to turn aside divine wrath, but certain Mar venerated Herne above other deities, as a path to being one with nature, and achieving the utmost personal power and accomplishment in life.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) January 22, 2020

Today, a few still pray to the Horned Hunter, but most Mar abhor Malar, and pray and make offerings only to appease him.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) January 22, 2020
