Trollbark Forest
The Trollbark is the type of forest where it is easy to get the feeling that humans are unwelcome; large oaks grow high above you, their leaves blocking most of the sunlight and the most hanging from branches casting odd menacing shadows.This sprawling forest lies to the south of Ardrest. While butting up on some of the more southernly farms, such as those owned by Jandi Halfhill, it is deep in the forest where good people fear to go. Filled with predators, monsters, and many unknown dangers, one of the key appeals of the town of Ardrest was that a night spent there was not a night spent near the Trollbark. Deep within the forest, near the southern edge of the Sheer Coast region lies the harpy roost of High Perch which, through the actions of the Frostyear Guardians, has opened relatively peaceful relations with the surrounding area (principally Hagsfall)
Geography
The Trollbark is a thick and primeval forest of tall trees and deep shadows. It well hilled and full of thick undergrowth which limits travel in it to all but the most dedicated. Those brave enough to travel deep into the wood report an uneasy feeling of not belonging, weather that is a result of some magical influence, or merely the impression a mortal receives entering a wood entirely alien to them is unclear.
