Hullack Forest, or simply the Hullack, was a forest in Cormyr in interior Faerûn. Traditionally, it marked Cormyr's eastern border with the Dalelands.[1] It was named for the legendary human druid Hullack of Eldath.[3]
Description[]
As a primeval woodland, the Hullack Forest was known for its dark and hidden valleys, some of which could go decades between visits by people.[1]
History[]
It was formerly part of the huge forest of Cormanthor and was the oldest forest in all of Cormyr.[1]
By the late 1300s DR, Hullack Forest and the King's Forest were almost all that remained of the southern reaches of Cormanthor in Cormyr, having been cut back significantly by settlers of the forest verge during the prosperous reign of King Azoun IV.[1]
In the Year of the Wyvern, 1363 DR, the Wyvernstones of Hullack were desecrated by lycanthropes tied to the People of the Black Blood.[4]
In the Year of the Wrathful Eye, 1391 DR, the Eldreth Veluuthra seized control of the forest to use it as a base for their operations. Three years later, Cormyr tried to retake the forest, and a brief conflict occurred with the occupying Eldreth Veluuthra, but King King Azoun V soon turned his attention to the more pressing threats of Netheril and Sembia.[5]
Inhabitants[]
Goblins and orcs from the Thunder Peaks were known to regularly visit the Hullack.[1]
Cormyrean wardens usually steered adventurers here in an effort to tame and pacify the Hullack.[1]
Rumors & Legends[]
Legends stated that it was full of strange monsters and ghost-like creatures.[1]
It was said that Hullack could manifest as a ghost to those who came peacefully to seek long lost lore.[3]
