Originally a stronghold of the more organized of the orc tribes, the area came under the rule of a group of evil humans some decades ago. It is speculated that these wicked people were disaffected bandits or were at least aided by one of the bandit barons. In any case, the land between the Cairn Hills and the Forest of Bloodlent is now firmly in the grasp of the Society. It is known that many troops of bandits from the Bandit Kingdoms frequent the walled town of Hookhill.

 '''Hookhill'''
 This lone hill at the northern end of the Misty Woods east of the Cairn Hills is the home of the Horned Society. The hill itself has sheer sides making it easy to defend. Tunnels are said to lead from the stronghold at the hill's summit into the forest below.

+The village below is entered via a single path leading from the south.  An overgrown graveyard is the first site that visitors encounter, as the path runs between it and a small pond, providing access to the town.  The graves run right up to the base of the hill.  Hookhill village is a collection of a dozen buildings, mostly providing merchant services for the Horned Society.
 '''Rabid River'''
 Running west out of the Shadowyarn Mountains, the Rabid River is so named for its treacherous rapids and swift-flowing currents. The headwaters of this river is the reported home of a benevolent river spirit who can predict the future.

 The forest of The Bloodlent is home to a large number of bandits from the Horned Society. The trees of this small wood include the beautiful sugar maple whose sweet, red sap is sought throughout the Reaches. Of late, shipments of red syrup have been very scarce. Historians believe that The Bloodlent was once part of the Misty Forest.
 '''Cairn Hills'''
-In the hinterland where the hills are very rugged, there have been strange burial sites discovered from time to time. Discoverers returned with harrowing tales of horrid guardians, death, and worse, but carried back ingots of precious metal, gems, and other treasures as well. The discovery of these burial sites gave the hills their name, and also make them a target for foolhardy adventurers.
+At the far western edge of the Misty Mountains, lies a large barren field which becomes a swamp in the mid-summer from the runoff of the Cairn Hills.  Several small rivers and large streams lead into the areas which are littered with rock piles from a previous age.  Several expeditions to the Cairns failed to return, after which the Lord March declared the area off limits.  Rumors hold that this swampy morass is infested by the souls of dead warriors slain by the Orcs of the Evil Eye, while others claim that a mad wizard has taken up residence, building a tower from the stones of the Cairns.  In either case, it is generally agreed that the Cairns are a place of ancient evil.
