Telar Wood

Telar Wood

The Telar Wood, which houses an ancient Wood Elf kingdom, sits in the SE of Ilusent between the grassy plains and the sea. It practically hugs the coast along one border, and the mists that roll in from the sea on an almost daily basis nourish the massive sequoia trees that grow here to incredible heights. The forest is quite large, occupying approximately 200,000 acres. Within the borders of the forest there are other populations as well, apart from the Wood Elves. Firbolgs live here in surprisingly large number, though in a number of small to medium sized communities. The Elves tend to leave the Firbolgs to their business, not in the least reason because the Firbolgs are capable of great strength and will eagerly defend itself against an elf that comes skulking by to take some trinket or other. Sprites, Satyrs, and other Fey creatures call this forest home as well, which has led some adventurers and explorers to postulate that somewhere among these giant trees, there is likely to exist a gate to the Feywild exists in the region, but it has not yet been found by anyone who is willing to share such information, if at all. Those who avoid attracting the attention of the Elves, or intruding upon the peace of the Firbolgs, will find the forest enchanting and awe-inspiring. Rich scents of conifer and the salt air of the sea intermingle, and the sun shines rays of golden light through the pollen hanging in the air to dapple the carpet of needles. Curious wildlife exists here, from songbirds that sing extremely complex songs, to massive fowl, the size of ostriches that are covered in iridescent green and blue feathers. Elk and deer graze placidly in small meadows and grassy clearings, a group of pseudodragons follow the party, scampering along tree branches and chittering like squirrels. Far ahead on the path, the party may see an owlbear lumbering across the way, an emotionally disheveled girl in a red hooded cape offers to sell you a dire wolf pelt for 20 GP or the deed to her deceased grandmother’s cabin for 500 GP.
