[edit] Flora

The Moonwood is dominated by evergreens, shadowtops, and duskwoods.^[2]

[edit] Inhabitants

Although the Moonwood is known to be free of orcs and other goblinkind, Orc tribes have been known to frequently raid the outer edges of the forest for lumber. It is known to be full of lycanthropes, mostly in the north corner.^[1]

Many of these lycanthropes were members of the People of the Black Blood^[1], while others are members of the Eldreth Veluuthra. As of 1374 DR, the two organizations often clashed, and the greater number and superior organization of the People of the Black Blood meant that the odds were in their favor.^[3]

The southern section is home to small bands of moon elves.^[2]
