Tʜᴇ Fᴏʀɢᴏᴛᴛᴇɴ Rᴇᴀʟᴍs [Fᴀɴ Vᴇʀsɪᴏɴ]

The Reaching Woods, a sprawling deciduous expanse of elms, maples, beeches, and oaks, blankets the Western Heartlands, stretching east of the River Chionthar and Elturgard, south of the Trielta Hills, and west of Triel. Once a haven of serenity, the woods are now marred by goblinoid incursions, their iron grip enslaving the native centaur and satyr populations. Amidst the ancient trees, pockets of resistance persist, guarded by powerful druids and sacred shrines dedicated to Eldath, the goddess of peace. Whispers also speak of the Walking Tower, a relic of fallen Netheril, its arcane presence a constant, unsettling reminder of a bygone era. While the woods offer a veneer of tranquil beauty, the lurking shadows of enslavement and ancient magic create a dangerous, unpredictable landscape for any traveler.
