Wood of Sharp Teeth

Forest in The Sword Coast · the Glimmerwood (its former name)

The Wood of Sharp Teeth is a dense, monster-filled forest south of the River Chionthar, between Baldur's Gate and Scornubel, with Durlag's Tower on its southern edge.

Thick trees hide the ruins of a lost city, and loggers at the edge never go further in than they must.
