Overview
Cormanthor was long the heart of the elven empire of Cormanthyr. It is made up of several woods, among them the Elven Court, Semberholme and the Tangled Trees, and some of its trees grow over a hundred feet tall.
Most of its elves left during the Retreat for Evereska, Evermeet and other refuges. Myth Drannor lies within it, and the Dalelands grew up around and partly inside the forest.
