==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<ref>Living Greyhawk Gazetteer, p141.</ref>.  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]]<ref>''From the Ashes'', "Lyrannikin" insert Monstrous Compendium sheet</ref>.   

In the past, there have been werewolf bands living in the northern Menowood.
