The Forest of shadows is located mainly around the base of the Shrouded Mountains, and extends north until it reaches The Great Desert, west until it reaches Magnum Opus, and east until it reaches the heavily wooded Forlorn Forest. The forest spreads south until it reaches the burning plains.

The Forest
The forest itself is to some a natural wonder. The trees flourish at night and som even produce a rare fruit. The forest is kept relatively safe from wild animals due to the regular hunting parties and people taking moonlit walks through the area. Most of the paths in the forest are only lit with a single lantern every few feet. One of a guards men's job is to take regular patrols in the forest and keep the lanterns lit. The one who feel more adventurous, do not take the path and forge their own trail through the forest. The forest it self is largely unmapped. Only the major points of interest are mapped and a few ruins within the forest as well.

Creatures of the forest.
The wild animals of the forest consist of any other forests animals. Boar, Bears, Elk, Deer, and any other creatures. Most are hunted regularly and usually kept on a stable population. However, there have been some accounts of large creatures within the forest that have not been documented. There have not been any deaths related to these creatures, so they are most likely solitary and not very territorial.

Some of the more well known creatures are:
