Border Forest
Forest in The Dalelands · Rystall Wood (its old elven name)
The Border Forest is a large forest of pine and oak linking the Dalelands, Anauroch, the Tortured Land and the Moonsea.
Thick undergrowth slows every step between pines and oaks, and few traces remain of the elves who once lived here.

Overview
The Border Forest connects four regions: the Dalelands to the south, Anauroch to the west, the Tortured Land to the north and the Moonsea to the east. It mixes pines, oaks and other trees, and its thick undergrowth makes travel hard.
Sylvan elves lived here for centuries and called it Rystall Wood, but they built little that lasted.
