Forest of Woe

Though much of central Hordaland is lightly forested, at the southern end of the Hord Peninsula is a deep, dark ancient forest that separates Hordaland from Storstrøm Vale. It is a haunted and dangerous place filled with monsters of every description, ruined Andøvan hill forts, and wild fey. The Forest of Woe is avoided by all sane people, and its existence cuts overland travel between the two neighboring regions. Despite a reputation for danger and evil, small handful of settlements are found along the forest’s edge. Freesteaders cut and burned pocket farms, each surrounded by stout palisades and home to rugged and ever-watchful folk. Outlaws often flee into the forest, though few live long enough to form permanent settlements. Rumor has it that a settlement of freeholding giant-blooded and troll-blooded outcasts exists somewhere in the depths of the forest, but its existence has yet to be verified.
