"These devils guard the woods here. The forests have existed long before London, and provide cover from watchful eyes. An accord with the Guild lets them make use of the river that runs through the grove, in exchange for certain intelligence."[1]
The Cedar-Woods are an ancient forest[2] of burnt trees in the Hinterlands,[3] accessible from Jericho Locks. The woods were disowned by Hell,[4] as were its residents: exiled devils[5] wearing tattered uniforms. They patrol the woods in secret, and they have an agreement with Guild of Gondoliers to use the woods' river in exchange for providing information;[6] this deal was kept secret from London.[7]
