Overview
The Reaching Woods spread east of the Chionthar and the border of Elturgard, south of the Trielta Hills and west of the Far Hills. The River Reaching splits them in two between Hill's Edge and the Chionthar.
The northern half is called the Northdark Wood, the Dusk Wood or Reluvethel's Wood after an elven ranger who once hunted there. The Dusk Road runs through the forest.
