The Snakewood

Forest in Amn

The Snakewood is a small forest in eastern Amn, named for the black and green snakes that swarm in it, once part of a great elven forest.

Black and green snakes slide across every path, and webs of giant spiders hang in the hollows.

Overview

The Snakewood lies in eastern Amn, west of the Troll Mountains, south of the Green Fields and east of the Cloud Peaks. It takes its name from its many black and green snakes, and also hides pockets of giant spiders.

It was once part of the great forest of Shantel Othreier, split off by dragon fire long ago.
