The Forgotten Realms [Fan Version]

Spiderhaunt Woods, a dense, shadowed forest bordering Shadowdale, looms with an eerie stillness, its ancient trees draped in thick, silken webs that shimmer with an unnatural dew. The air hums with the skittering of countless arachnids, from harmless spinners to monstrous phase spiders, their eyes gleaming in the dim light filtering through the canopy. The Arachnid Pathway, a barely discernible trail, snakes from the Tethyamar Trail into the woods' heart, promising both rare spell components and perilous encounters. Ettercaps, their twisted forms camouflaged among the gnarled roots, stalk unwary travelers, while larger, more sinister creatures lurk deeper within the web-choked depths. The North Ride skirts the forest's southern edge, a thin line of civilization against the encroaching wild, where the scent of damp earth and venom hangs heavy, a constant reminder of the forest's deadly inhabitants.
