Dreadwood

The Dreadwood is a large forest ranging across the southern provinces of the Kingdom of Keoland, separating the kingdom from the Hool Marshes.
A royal writ grants control of most of the forest to the elves, who administer and protect it on behalf of the crown. Efforts are mounted to clear this forest of evil creatures, but these have failed time and again. Raiders from the Sea Princes and nonhumans from the Hool Marshes use the wood to attack southern Keoland. The elves and royal garrisons battle these invaders at great cost. The wood is also home to the Great Druidess of the Sheldomar Valley, Reyna Yargrove, who is an ally to the cause of the elves.
