The Brumewood

Horrible things live in the dense forest of the Brumewood. Thousands of giant spiders and several witches, as well as various other creatures (including some undead), live here. Except for the spiders, who are aboriginal, virtually the entire population migrated here after being kicked out of other locations (usually for being too spooky). With a few notable exceptions, the inhabitants of the Brumewood only want to be left alone, but their habitat is often disturbed by people in search of adventure. For this reason a number of them have taken to tormenting the people who venture through the forest. Unfortunately for them, however, this only feeds the forest’s reputation as a good place to adventure.

The Brumewood is notably dense, especially on its east side. In far east Brumewood, small dragon actually lives on top of the forest. To the west where the trees are relatively sparse, there are rumors of an incredibly evil witch, who lets none who enter her part of the forest live. (Needless to say, she torments them first.)

A path leads south out of Queensbarrow into Toswald through the center of the Brumewood, passing on the way through the small town of Boggart’s Hollow.
