Moorwood

Scattered throughout The Radiant Citadel are small groves of woodlands, believed to have been planted by the original settlers. Amongst these wooded areas, Moorwood stands out due to the presence of a cavern that leads inside a massive fossil that the Citadel was carved into. However, this particular region remains largely unexplored, primarily due to the substantial population of Moorbounders (EGtW p. 295) that inhabit it. It is these Moorbounders that have bestowed the woods with their name.
  Moorbounders are not native to the Citadel, just as nothing else truly is, except perhaps the Gith. All Moorbounders in the Citadel are said to be descendants of a pair that were once domesticated and brought over by Socorro the Exile. However, Socorro made the decision to release his “pets”, believing they had faithfully served him in San Citlán and deserved their freedom. This occurred before the complete excavation of the Auroral Diamond and the establishment of the preserve.
  The Moorbounders settled within the forest closest to the Palace of Exile and began to reproduce. At some point, they discovered the entrance to the inner fossil, leading to a rapid increase in their numbers due to the additional free space it offered. However, all of their offspring were feral, unlike their domesticated parents. It’s important to note that not all of the Moorbounders in the Citadel are descended from Socorro’s former “pets”.
  The Moorbounders residing in Moorwood tend to remain within their wooded habitat. Nevertheless, over the years, there have been instances where tourists have mistakenly ventured into the woods, with unfortunate consequences.
  The Moorbounders are a protected species within the Citadel. Any individual who intentionally harms one of the pack is promptly expelled from the Citadel.
