Winterwood

Winterwood is a vast woodland filled with pines and oaks and is the darkest forest in the region. The thick foliage from these tall tress block out the sunlight, and a cool, light, white mist is commonly seen floating along the ground. The white mist is so dense it looks like newly fallen snow, especially on the edges of the forest when the morning light strikes the it. Hence it's name: Winterwood.

Inhabitants
The secluded nature of Winterwood has allowed a tribe of mold men to establish a territory in the northern reaches of the forest, they claim their territory includes everything south of the Wintercloak river. This claim has caused the tribe to remain at odds with the orcs of the White Hand. This band consists of an amassed group of around 250 members who formed the village of Shen it sits about four miles from the river, in the very heart of the Winterwood. The ongoing dispute between these two factions has made the Winterwood a dangerous locale to visit. South of the Wintercloak River is much more hospitable, and an old male green dragon by the name of Foilsunder with druid powers, who is supposedly lairing about 20 miles or so to the south.
