The Dreadwood

The Dreadwood, also known as "Ouldwoaden" in Druidic and by the tribes, is a massive forest that takes up most of the central region of the continent of Jálus, seated north of the Kingdom of Morne. A place connected to a number of powerful Leylines, the forest is known for its varied and mixed flora and fauna, caused by the constant mixing and fusion of planar energies.
