Cloak Wood

South of Baldur’s Gate and north of Candlekeep, the Cloak Wood is thickly overgrown ancient forest that looms along the shore south of the Sword Coast.

Unlike the cliffs to the north, the Cloak Wood’s shoreline theoretically allows a ship to moor and send a small boat to shore for water and supplies. In practice, only desperate mariners dare the wood’s nasty population of beasts, monsters, and vicious fey.

The sages of Candlekeep assert that the Cloak Wood contains portals to several parts of Faerûn.
