The northern most of the great forests. Spanning many days travel in all directions, until it reaches the mountains to the West and the grasslands to the East a few weeks travel in either direction. Once a small remnant of the woods that were before the Peace of Ages it has grown under the protection of The Kraul and those that live within the woods have pledged to tend them and care of his trees. In exchange when a tree is nearing an end, he allows it to be taken, provided that homage is paid to his protection and the mistakes of old.
The woods directly around Whiteridge itself is calm and game is plentiful. The townsfolk pay their homage to The Kraul and the forest and in exchange it is said he protects them with his trees and will guide them home should they get lost. However, it is also said that going too deep into the woods will anger The Kraul and if night descends and one is not where they should be, they may be taken as payment for debts of the past.
Within the forest there is a large river, the Savage River, it is about an hour or so from Whiteridge and fairly easy to find. Hunting is good there as the river widens and slows near the town providing for ample clean water and fishing. It is a favorite place among townsfolk to visit and take ease during the rare days where chores are done. At night, it is not uncommon to find a young couple reveling in youth there, enjoying each other beyond what their parents would approve of.
Further into the woods, on the edge of where people belong, there is a clearing around a natural spring, where the sun will break through the canopy. It is said to be a mystical place where the veil between worlds is at its weakest.
