'SPIDERHAUNT WOODS' (2853)
This dark forest lies west of the Emerald Forest and can also be reached from the Forest Road. Home to all manner of spiders, those with arachnophobia are strongly advised to not enter these woods. Webs tangle the paths between trees, hanging down from the forest canopy and covering the ground. Few animals remain, most having gone into the belly of some spider long ago. Because of this, the spiders that survive within must rely on adventurers traveling through their woods for sustenance. Those who have made it through the forest alive speak in hushed tones of strange half-human, half- spider creatures they have but caught a glimpse of, skulking in the darkness, waiting for a chance to strike.
