Dernall Forest sprawls across central Alaron, a vibrant yet perilous woodland. The Swanmay River carves a path through its heart, flowing southeast, while the High King's Road cuts north to south, a vital but often treacherous route. Its northern edge meets the rugged Fairheight Range, while to the west, it merges into the murky, coastal Drowned Forest. To the east, the forest gives way to the open fields of Talffolk. Within its depths, ancient trees cast long shadows, obscuring hidden paths and the lairs of creatures both fey and fierce. A trail, barely discernible, separates it from the smaller Lord's Forest near Aithelar, a reminder of the fragmented nature of these wild lands. Adventurers should tread carefully, for the forest's beauty conceals dangers, and the shifting borders with the Drowned Forest make navigation challenging. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves, and the sounds of unseen creatures echo through the dense undergrowth.

Towering trees stretch skyward beneath a dark green canopy, their trunks shrouded in moss and lichen. Mist curls above damp underbrush, and the Swanmay River gleams beneath arched boughs. Shafts of sunlight filter through the leaves, illuminating ruined stones and faint game trails. To the west, shadows deepen where the forest sinks into marshy gloom. The air is heavy, rich with decay and magic.
