The Deepwood

As the source of rare and lucrative timber known as Darkwood, this dense forest in the center of Tel Morath and bordering Freebridge is a valuable economic resource, but it is also a place steeped in political significance. The Deepwood is home to all manner of fey, including both wicked and decent creatures. The most notable concentration of the latter is in the oasis like Grove of Verdant, a haven of over a dozen druids of Obad-Hai, and the most powerful of their order in the world. Diabolic influences also permeate the woods, most notably in the wildlife that has seemingly taken on a fiendish taint. With the unfolding of these darker creatures in 1344, the Grove of Verdant has relentlessly tried to stop the spread, and have sought for over three centuries for the cause. The Grove of Verdant allow the harvesting of Darkwood trees only during two weeks in high summer, as to allow the forest to heal for next season.
