Crimson District

Crimson District is the northwestern subdistrict of Teiliwaan. Its capital is Hishu-Yousai. It is a temperate, forested land, shared by the elves of the Whispering Forest and the citizens of the Empire. Though the understanding between the two cultures is relatively stable, it is constantly threatened by the Primitivist terrorist organization known as Genocide Wood, who worship the forest-dwelling Noise god the Thrawn.

The most important export of the district is fine silk, produced by the larvae of special silkworms endogenous to Whispering Forest. The name of the district derives from the crimson dye used to dye the silk. The dye is also produced in the district, where the rare kermes beetles are hunted for their chitin to be ground to crimson.
