Spiderhaunt Woods broods along the edge of Shadowdale, a haunted tangle of ancient forest where shadows cling like cobwebs and silence is seldom unbroken. Once touched by dark magic, the woods are now a haven for all manner of arachnids, from common woodland spiders to massive, intelligent horrors like phase spiders and sword spiders. The trees here are old and gnarled, their boughs heavy with draping webs that shimmer with sickly dew. Travelers speak of the Arachnid Pathway, a faint, winding trail threading from the Tethyamar Trail into the web-choked heart of the forest, where rare spell components lie amid deadly traps. Ettercaps blend into the bark and undergrowth, orchestrating ambushes for prey, while stranger and more malevolent beings dwell deeper in the woods. The North Ride marks a tenuous boundary, separating the safety of open roads from the forest's creeping dread. In Spiderhaunt, every branch seems to watch, and every step may be your last.

A thick, oppressive forest of dark-barked trees looms beneath a gray sky, their limbs heavy with layered webs that droop like silk curtains. The ground is soft with damp leaves and tangled roots, crisscrossed by the glint of glistening threads. Eyes flicker in the gloom, and faint rustling stirs just beyond sight. A faint trail—half-choked with web and moss—vanishes into the shadows, beckoning with equal parts promise and peril.
