The Ravenwood
The Ravenwood is a vaguely-delineated area of thick forests clinging to the southern faces of the Raven's Rock Mountains, specifically the range near Raven's Rock Keep. Few maintained paths and no known communities exist inside the wood, which extends south to the Goodhag River and turns to swampland on the other bank. It extends for a few miles west to the edge of the Border Marches into the Realm proper, near Marleven, and several miles east beyond the border, where it continues under other names, as part of the Arborvast.
Fauna & Flora
Massive trees surrounded by lower-level undercanopy characterize the upper levels, where hawks, eagles, owls and the namesake ravens and crows of the wood are dominant. Sections of the wood are choked with thorn bushes and underbrush, but other areas are kept more clear by the movement and voracious appetites of deer, elk, and moose.
Natural Resources
The wood provides excellent timber from a variety of dense hickory, oak, walnut and cherrywood trees at lower elevations and cedar pines higher up the mountainside. Situated as it is in the floodplain of the river and the base of the Ravens Rock mountains, it may also contain interesting mineral resources beneath the black earth and tangled roots of the wood.
