It lay at the southwestern fringe of the great High Forest, between it and the River Delimbiyr and the Delimbiyr Road and just east of the Heartblood River where it joined the Delimbiyr.

Description
The soil here was as dark as midnight, even half a century after the Battle of Tanglefork.

Notable Locations
A campsite in the woods was commonly used by travelers between Loudwater and Shining Falls.

History
The Battle of Tanglefork was fought here in the, when the rebel leader Nanathlor Greysword, the Green Regent of Mielikki, led his ragtag band against the mercenaries of Pasuuk Rensha, the then ruler of Loudwater. To aid her champion, Mielikki awakened the trees and set them to attack Pasuuk's forces, and he in turn summoned a coven of devils]]s. But they were defeated and the corpses of Pasuuk and his fiendish allies were scattered like filth, blackening the soil of Tanglefork Woods with their evil.

In the summer of the, Hekkut the Molted and his goblin bandits, all working for the Hark, established a hidden lair near the Tangleforks, in a cave on the banks of the Heartblood River where it passed through a winding chasm. From there, they attacked travelers passing along a lightly wooded stretch of the Delimbiyr Road just near the Tanglefork campsite and a wooded knoll. Late one afternoon in Eleasias, Skar, Gvrag, and others caught and tortured Blaz Merrymar there, before adventurers intervened.
