Lurkwood

This great forest is second only to the High Forest among the woodlands of Faerûn. Nestled at the feet of the Spine of the World, it has a bad reputation in the lands nearby as a forest hunted by fierce tribes of orcs, ettins, giants, and other creatures of the mountains. The reputation is largely deserved, although the southern verge of the forest is safe enough to attract woodcutters, trappers, and hunters from Mirabar and Longsaddle.
Several Uthgardt tribes roam large tracts of the forest - principally the Elk, Griffon, and Sky Pony tribes. One other tribe hunts these lands, too. In the eastern Lurkwood, the Gray Wolf Uthgardt hold sway. These feral barbarians have earned the fear and respect of the other denizens of the woodlands. Small Gray Wolf encampments can be found throughout Faerûn, but in the Lurkwood a clan of more than fifty of the lycanthropes are gathered together. They do not welcome intruders in their hunting grounds.
