Barren Woods

This is an oak and birch forest extending from the HRUESEN RIVER in the east to the massive INGELD LAKE in the west. Its deeps have only recently been encroached upon with those settlements developing along the upper Hruesen River and far to the north of Botkinburg. Many creatures of ancient origin roam the deep woods, as it was once a land belonging to the ELVES and other FEY and the Horned One never truly conquered the region. Other monsters, spawn of the Horned One, occasionally crawl forth from the holes where they have been hiding these many long years to take the lives of all they can. Of late, their numbers have increased, and the danger of travel here has become great indeed.

Geography

Here the ground is generally flat with some small rolling hills.  The forest is think in most areas, but does have hills that are free of trees as well as glades and valleys.  There are many small streams making their way lazily through these woods.
