Menowood
The Menowood is a very natural forest noted for its unspoiled environment found on the coast of the Azure Sea, just outside the borders of Sunndi and Ahlissa. Previously it was inside the nation of Idee.
Description
The Menowoood takes its name from the fact that it was once the demense of a great druid who cared for the forest, named Sverdras Meno[1]. The vast reaches of the Menowood are predominantly ancient and unspoiled.
Flora and Fauna
Unicorns have been occasionally found within the Menowood, as well as all manner of other fey; faerie, sprites, and even disruptive unseelie fey such as spriggans and quicklings.
Inhabitants
The Treants who've tended the forest have been there for hundreds of years. There are sylvan (or "wood") elf tribes who've been there just as long, as well as Tellfellow halflings who live amongst them in the forest. A small number of gnomes are even known to inhabit the Menowood.
There are a great deal of stories and other information relating to the treants of the Menowood. It is even known there were attempts by the Scarlet Brotherhood to corrupt treants, blighting them and turning them into lyrannikin[2].
In the past, there have been werewolf bands living in the northern Menowood.
