Bramblewood Forest

The Bramblewood Forest and environs, from Anna Meyer's Flanaess Map (2018).

Bramblewood is a vast primeval forest south of Yatil Mountains covering over half of the nation of Ket. The creatures within it are dangerous to encounter, with little or no caution nor fear of humans or other humanoids. Ket claims control over the outer edges and the Irafa Road that cuts through the heart of the Forest, but constant military attention and power are just enough to maintain even this tenuous control.

All travelers into the Bramblewood quickly become aware of the dangers: wyverns, wild and wood elves, behir, ogres, androsphinxes, ettercaps, dire creatures of all types, and giant vermin of many species—all of these creatures exist in huge quantities. Staying outside overnight is mortally dangerous.

Geography

Maps of the Forest are largely useless, since game trails and even riverbeds seem to change with the season. All sages agree that the Forest itself is slowly growing, despite the work of numerous Ketite woodcutters on its periphery, and several small hamlets have been overtaken by the Forest in recent years. Whether this is the work of some dark intelligence or just a natural cause is unknown.
