Lluirwood

The Lluirwood was a forest in Luiren.

Geography
Lluirwood made up the northern border of Luiren, just south of the Toadsquat Mountains.

Description
The Lluirwood was a dense forest. Originally, it covered more of the land, but after the Hin Ghostwar ended in -65 DR, the strongheart halflings cleared parts of it to make room for permanent settlements.

History
The Lluirwood was the original homeland of all three subraces of halfling. Those three tribes (lightfoots, stronghearts, and ghostwise) lived nomadic lifestyles in the forest and share its resources among themselves. Around -100 DR, a ghostwise halfling cleric named Desva began leading the ghostwise in the worship of Mala and violence, causing the forest to become a savage place and beginning the Hin Ghostwar. The war ended in -65 DR when Desva was slain and the ghostwise imposed exile on themselves to the Chondalwood. Subsequently, most of the lightfoots left the area in a diaspora across Faerûn and the stronghearts began clearing areas of the forest for permanent settlement.

Inhabitants
The forest was inhabited by monsters, including those that came down from the Toadsquat Mountains, including tall mouthers and troll]s. Some halfling [[druids, rangers, and rogues called the forest home despite its dangers.
