Called the Crown of Tefnut for in days of old it marked the northern boundaries of the Ethvold. Today it stands between the Wilds, the Tar Kiln, and the Bleached Hills. It is a tangled forest of weathered hills, deep gulches, meandering creeks and streams. The trees are gnarled black-jacks, maple, sycamore and hawthorne trees. Hosts of berry find home here, growing throughout the forest, along stream banks and in the cool gulches. The forest grows a tangled mess, with no easy avenues to cross it. What trails do exist are game trails only and these haunted by predators of all stripes
Few dwell there that aren't wild and capable for the land is dangerous, peopled by wolves, bears and mountain lions as well monsters that hunt the plentiful game. The men who do dwell there are known for their wines, for they pluck the berries, and concoct a brew that is sold far and wide. Any who drink it enjoy a rush of adrenaline.
The headwaters of the Ardeen River are found within this wood but none have yet found their exact location.
