Reaching Woods

Reaching Woods is a canonical Forest / Woodland located in the Sunset Vale & Western Frontier, prominently surveyed on the regional map spanning From Sunset to Sembia.

Overview & Canon History

This large forest is young and dense, populated with deciduous trees like beeches, elms, maples, oaks, and walnuts. Pleasant and picturesque from the outside, the woods give a feeling of peacefulness and serenity. There are a number of tranquil pools to be found amidst the trees. In winter, the Reaching Woods see a lot of snow, freezing temperatures, and clouded skies. In the late 15th century DR, the Reaching Woods are inhabited by humans and elves and by goblins and gnolls, but by 1479 DR, the gnolls dominate the forest and keep the humans and elves as no more than food.
