Spiderhaunt Woods

Located on the western slope of the Desertsmouth Mountains, the Spiderhaunt Woods are a thick wood of spikey oak, thistletree, and pine. It is heavily overgrown and dark as the night beneath the trees. canopy. Travel through them is well-nigh impossible, and most travelers who have business in the area prefer to skirt their edges.

Adding to the ill repute of this forest, it is the home of a huge number of spiders and ettercaps. Local legend states that a spider lord rules from the center of the forest’s web, and all that happens within the Dales is merely the result of his wishes. A small Beast Cult has grown up around this unseen and likely fictitious creature, but any traveler who passes within the forest’s borders is warned that the spiders rule here, regardless of their master.
