Sword Coast

The domain of Ettercaps and a variety of enormous spiders. These creatures defend their territory.

It is cleverly concealed by the dense foliage of the Cloakwood forest. The cave entrance is typically obscured by thick, overlapping curtains of spider silk that blend seamlessly with the surrounding vegetation. These silken barriers are often adorned with leaves and debris, making them nearly indistinguishable from the forest floor. The trees are ancient and towering, their trunks covered in moss and their branches forming a canopy so thick that little sunlight penetrates to the ground. A noticeable silence prevails, as if the creatures of the wood instinctively avoid this ominous place. The ground near the cave entrance is soft and appears undisturbed, but it’s actually a network of shallow tunnels just beneath the surface, ready to collapse under the weight of an unwary footstep. The natural camouflage of the nest’s exterior serves as the first line of defense, deterring intruders and protecting the secrets that lie within.
