Forest of Amtar

The Forest of Amtar (known as the Forest of Amlar to some Dambraii ) was a large forest in south Faerûn.

Geography
During the Era of Upheaval, the Forest of Amtar was about 400 miles (650 kilometers) long and roughly 150 miles (240 kilometers) at its widest point. Centuries and millennia before, it was much larger. After the Spellplague, the Underchasm swallowed a portion of the forest and surrounded it on the west, north, and northeast sides. The Gnollwatch Mountains formed the forest's southern border. The River Ammath had its headwaters in Amtar and flowed eastward out of the forest.

The Amtar Forest formed the northern border of the nation of Dambrath covering nearly half of its land area.

Geographical Features
Before the Spellplague, the Landrise cut into the northeastern part of the forest, but the cliffs ended before reaching the other side. The eastern part of the forest hid many stone ruins of past cities built by human-sized inhabitants as well as giant-sized.

Description
This lush forest was extremely humid even during the night. Much of the forest was filled with beautiful suth trees, causing an endless struggle between the elves of the forest and the inhabitants of Dambrath.

Many jungle creatures could be found within the forest including jaguars, tigers, parrots, choke creepers, rhino beetles, and even carnivorous apes.

Inhabitants
The Trunalor(or star people) were a small group of wild elves that lived in the southern center of the forest.

Several groups of organized bandits plagued the eastern edge of the forest, preying on travelers of the Trader's Way.

Notable Locations
The small logging city of Elveswatch could be found along the southeastern rim of the forest. Along the southwestern edge sat the abandoned Gate of Iron Fangs.
