Forest of Iron Geographic Location in D&D Forgotten Realms | World Anvil

Forest of Iron

The Forest of Iron is a two-day journey from Deepdelvers Enclave. The Forest of Iron gets its name from the wide variety of The Grendleroot growths that fill this huge cavern. The cavern's cracked rock walls rise to a 500-foot-high ceiling.

The Grendleroot spires thrust up from the ground across the cavern floor, and hang from the ceiling like metal vines. At the far end of the cavern stands the shattered remains of a natural column of stone that once held up the ceiling. Twisted cords of the Grendleroot have replaced the natural column, and now hold the ceiling aloft. The entire cavern is filled with dim green-and-blue-light shed by phosphorescent fungus.

Unlike the typical claw-like spikes found elsewhere in Blackclaw Mountain, the material of the Grendleroot has here grown into many different shapes, giving the cavern the look of a forest made of black metal.

According to Odrah Windvane's research, if the Worldpillar is destroyed, the cavern containing the Forest of Iron might collapse, starting a chain reaction that could bring the whole mountain crashing down.
