The Cloakwood
Forest in The Sword Coast · Cloak Wood
The Cloakwood is an ancient, thickly grown forest on the southern Sword Coast, south of Baldur's Gate, said by the sages of Candlekeep to hold portals to other worlds.
Ancient trees grow so close that daylight barely reaches the ground, and old stories speak of doors to other worlds hidden among them.

Overview
The Cloakwood lies south of Baldur's Gate on the coast; to its south-west, Cape Raeth forms Cloak Bay. Its old trees grow close and thick.
The scholars of nearby Candlekeep held that the forest contained several portals to other parts of the cosmos, though by 1479 DR these were believed to be dead.
