This isolated wood is avoided by all
save the bravest adventurers; it's existed since before Netheril's fall and continues
to do so, despite the advance of Anauroch. Rumored
a place of fell magic, blue mists and glowing lights are often seen in its interior
by Zhentarim caravans passing at night
to and from Llorkh to the west. The elves say gates to
other worlds lie in the depths of Weathercote, and mages of awesome power from
other worlds have settled in the Woods and guard the gates to prevent others from
using them. This news has yet to be tested, as neither spells nor psionics seem
to penetrate the Woods' interior; few enter Weathercote Wood willingly and walk
out again.
