Eofwin Geography

The land is uneven and rolling. This forest’s rocky landscape is dotted with caves. Many of these caves are interconnected, and some are very dramatic in scale and configuration. Scattered among the forest are small patches of heathland, composed of heather, gorse and tawny grass. Within the forest, there are said to be secret glens hidden among the hills and hollows that only the locals may find.
