Overview
The forest is named after Tethir, the first elven dragonslayer; the elves call it Wealdath. It is the largest forest of the Lands of Intrigue and the Sword Coast and one of the largest in Faerûn, and some scholars call it the single most important thing shaping the culture of Tethyr.
Its elves have long been wary of the humans around them. On our map it lies south of Murann and west of Trademeet.
