Neverwinter Wood
Forest in Sword Coast North · Llewyrrwood (its old elven name)
The Neverwinter Wood is a dense, magic-touched forest east of Neverwinter, through which the warm Neverwinter River flows down from Mount Hotenow.
Mist rises from a river that never freezes, old trees crowd close, and in the west the faithful of Helm tend a sacred stretch called the Watcher's Forest.

Overview
The elves of old Illefarn called this forest Llewyrrwood. The Neverwinter River runs through it from Mount Hotenow, and its western part, the Watcher's Forest, is held sacred and tended by priests of Helm from Helm's Hold.
The forest is known to be steeped in magic. Its edges hold villages such as Thundertree and Conyberry, and its depths hide old ruins and the dangers of the volcano.
