North of Dagdan lies the forest of ancient giant trees, called 'GiantThumbs' by the locals. Snarling owlbears and slinking hawkweasels lurk within the dark shadows of the forest, making travel through here quite dangerous for young adventurers. Rumors in Dagdan speak of a race of gnome-like creatures, the Dranety, who live somewhere within the wood, shunning all strangers they have not come to trust.
