Lore Summary:

The woods are filled with magical presences that eminate from ancient ruins and underground cave system. Jaytowner disrupted dark rituals in he caves run by a kobold named Zalath and discovered numerous connections to Fenrir and other northern god in the woods above. The primary inhabitants of the woods appears to be fey, winter wolves and strange fungus plants of unknown origin. The caves are home to many groups wanting to avoid such as the Death Rock Cult, Inquistors and bandits. Rumors suggest that the caverns run deep enough to connect with the underdark. Two major populations inhabit the area, the Fire Giants of the Blackplume Forge and the humanoids of Mildor. Jaytown has very good relations with the fire giants after helping them rekindle their forge which was dying out. The relationship with Mildor is mixed. Jaytown has helped the town deal with bandits, built an arena in town and corrdinated activities with the Brothers of Quiet Comtemplation, helped resolve conflict between the wild fey and the town leaders. However Jaytown is also harboring Winter Baudelaire who is wanted for murder.
