Southwood

Forest in The Western Heartlands · the South Wood

The Southwood is a young but dim forest of the Delimbiyr Vale, between the Gray Vale and the High Moor, one of the woods called the Triangle of Trees.

The trees are younger than those of the High Forest but just as dim, and hunters from the Gray Vale move quietly beneath them.

Overview

The Southwood lies in the western Delimbiyr Vale just north of Highstar Lake, forming a border between the Gray Vale to the north and the High Moor to the south. It has the same trees as the High Forest and is a favourite haunt of the outdoorsfolk of the Gray Vale.

It belongs to the Triangle of Trees, with the Far Forest and the Misty Forest, and Loudwater stands within it on our map.
