Reaching Woods

The Reaching Woods are located east of Triel and Scornubel and stretch across both sides of the River Chionthar. The woods are humid and wet from the constant rain and low river banks. The edges of the forest are dotted with abandoned villages and ruins, packed tightly between the ancient trees.
Once home to a mighty herd of centaurs, most are believed to have been killed by bands of roaming bugbears as they have not been seen in many years. Some say the centaurs simply moved into the deepest depths of the forest, abandoning all connection to the outside world. Others say they have gone feral.
Satyrs, dryads, and other fey creatures are known to inhabit the forest. They are protective of their home, but have been known to help a lost traveler find their way. Recently High Overseer Kreeg of Elturgard has banned entrance and exit from the woods. The official decree states that a rampant fey sickness required the area to be quarantined, however there are few that believe the explanation.
An old merchant traveling near the woods has been worried about undead recently.
