Cold Wood
Forest in The Silver Marches · the Glimmerwood (with the Moonwood, from about 1460 DR)
The Cold Wood is a wild pine forest on the edge of the Silver Marches, between the Spine of the World and the Rauvin Mountains, which has grown together with the Moonwood into the Glimmerwood.
Pines and spruces bend under deep snow, and the silence of the wood is broken only by the creak of branches and the howl of something far off.

Overview
The Cold Wood lies between the Spine of the World, the Rauvin Mountains and the Ice Mountains. It is wild and largely untouched: most woodcutters and homesteaders avoid it, and in winter the snow lies so deep that the trees bend beneath it.
By about 1460 DR, the Moonwood had grown together with the Cold Wood, and the larger forest became known as the Glimmerwood. Beorunna's Well and One Stone lie within it on our map.
