Eng Wood

Loggers and trappers from the neighboring riverbanks as well as Glaivr frequently venture into this deciduous forest teeming with plant and animal life. Birches, oaks, and walnuts are the most common trees, though numerous other species flourish alongside these stalwarts. Game animals are also in abundance, with deer and rabbit topping the list. Small enclaves of orcs, hobgoblins, goblins, and kobolds also inhabitant the forest alongside a fiercely protective colony of elves, who defend the Eng Wood against any who would defile it. Fearful of the elves and unwanted attention from Glaivr, the badly outnumbered humanoids typically fight among themselves. They rarely attack woodsmen or hunters.
Although most people venture into the Eng Wood in pursuit of their livelihood, some trek into the forest seeking a mischievous leprechaun. According to the popular yet largely discredited story, the sly fey offers a lucky holy relic to anyone who can solve his riddle. In the tale, the trickster also claims the deity Mick O’Delving personally gave him the item for his assistance to a drunken halfling in need. The legend says the leprechaun lives in a small yet cozy cottage whose chimney bellows colorful orange smoke.
