Wood of Sharp Teeth

The Wood of Sharp Teeth, formerly called the Glimmerwood, is a dense forest south of the River Chionthar, southeast of Baldur's Gate and southwest of Scornubel. It is a wilderness except for Durlag's Tower on the forest's southern edge. The Uldoon Trail is the nearest route to the forest. The forest is home to satyrs, dryads, and a small number of werewolves, and some believe wolfweres also dwelt within. There are whispers and old wives-tales of dragons and hydras residing in the woods.

History

The forest contained the site of the ruined (as of 1374 DR) city of Vehlarr.

Before it was named Wood of Sharp Teeth, it was called Glimmerwood by the elves of Askavar, who no longer lived there by the 14th century DR. By 1369 DR, the Twisted Rune had placed a magical gate in the area to allow for instantaneous movement to other locations.

For a brief period in the 15th century DR, the forest was known as the Werewoods. Former Grand Duke Valarken is rumored to live there, fleeing there after his failed coup in Baldur's Gate.
