Bramblewood Forest

The Bramblewood is a vast and dense primeval forest south of Yatil Mountains covering over half of the nation of Ket. At one time it grew up onto the slopes of the Yatils, but the foothills and northern lowlands were cleared for farming over the centuries. The creatures within it are dangerous to encounter, with little or no caution nor fear of humans or other humanoids. Yarpick trees, commonly called daggerthorns, are abundant here. Cultivated yarpick “nuts,” the inner seed of their small fruit, are nourishing either whole or ground into meal; these are sold in Ket, Perrenland and the Baklunish nations. 
Ket claims control over the outer edges and the Irafa Road that cuts through the heart of the Forest, but constant military attention and power are just enough to maintain even this tenuous control. All travelers into the Bramblewood quickly become aware of the dangers: wyverns, wild and wood elves, behir, ogres, androsphinxes, ettercaps, dire creatures of all types, and giant vermin of many species—all of these creatures exist in huge quantities. Staying outside overnight is mortally dangerous.
