The '''Hornwood''' is a woodland in the Grand Duchy of [[Geoff]].  


The Hornwood is named for the '''hornwood tree''', a beautiful hardwood that, when treated, is particularly resilient. Hornwood bows are particularly prized, though other weapons are made from the material as well. First-rate hornwood is hard to come by, and quality hornwood bows are hard to prepare. Nonetheless, they make the finest of elven bows.
