Far Forest

The Far Forest was one of a group of three forests named the Triangle of Trees.

Description
The Far Forest was full of small lakes, some of them had become stinking marshes infested by Will-o'-wisps and from a chuul. The heart of the forest was populated by giant spiders and other creatures that were the result of cruel magical experiments conducted by Nethereses. The travellers who journeyed through the Forest faced many dangers. Ettercap, bears, owlbears, spiders, giant beetles, snakes and stirges roamed among the trees. The eastern side of the forest was less thick of trees. The Far Forest had a handful of ancient ruins covered by roots and climbing plants.

History
This was once a relatively peaceful forest much like the brighter parts of the nearby High Forest, but as dark creatures poured out of Hellgate Keep into these woods, the dryads and treants of the forest left. Overtime the forest itself became dark and twisted by the those dark forces from Hellgate Keep. Before the fall of Hellgate Keep there were no more sylvan races left in these woods. With the fall of Hellgate Keep treants and dryads have moved back in and the fiendish creatures have fled the forest, some traveling south towards the Fallen Lands.

Around 1370 DR, the forest was tended by Turlang and his forest followers.

Around 1372 DR, centaurs and satyrs moved to explore the southern area while some deadly plants and trees like tendriculoses and assassin vines were placed by Turlang along the western slope of the forest for discouraging deforestation.
