Geography
Edit
The Border Forest is a mixture of pines, oaks and other deciduous trees; the forest undergrowth is relatively thick, making the walk difficult[4].
HistoryEdit
The Border Forest was once known as Rystall Wood by the Sylvan elves that lived there for many centuries after the Crown Wars. However, little evidence remains of their civilisation as they built few permanent structures.[1]
In -5000 DR, Rystall Wood is cut off from the rest of Arcorar during the Twelve Nights of Fire that are started by a falling meteor.[1][5][6] Rystall Wood becomes a separate forest and realm after the Twelve Nights of Fire clear away the mountain and hill trees that attached it to Arcorar. Although an independent forest now, its coronal still convenes often with the leaders of the Elven Court.[7]
InhabitantsEdit
In 1372 DR the Border Forest is inhabited mostly by fey; due to heavy logging activities in the past, mostly from Snowmantle, the fey in this area tend to be more violent and hostile than in other parts of Faerun.[3]
Eldreth VeluuthraEdit
Two Eldreth Veluuthra were known to be active in the forest around 1374 DR. One cell focused on raiding the Daggerdale border while the other concentrated on ambushing Zhentarim agents. The Eldrath Veluuthra in this area were supported by fey.[8]
Notable locationsEdit
At the southern edges of the Border Forest lie the ruins of the Flaming Tower, once built by fire giants and destroyed by the Knights of Myth Drannor; the ruins are now inhabited by a powerful beholder, served by a force of goblins[9].
