The Boar Wood

The Boar Wood is a vast expanse of forest that borders Betham and Saldon. It's difficult to say where it ends and begins as the region is heavily forested, though many believe it lies between the Dragontooth Mountains and the Southland Hills. The Boar Wood is so named for its abundance of wild boar, a favorite feast among Southerners during Ostara and Beltane festivals. Many other species of wild animal occupy the wood as well; including wolves, elk, stirges, black bears, and the occasional owlbear. Which is, of course, to say nothing of the bandits, ogres, goblins, and undead that wander the forest as well who pose a frequent danger to travellers. It is said that in among the trees are Xanthian  ruins leftover from the time of the Old Empire, representing a time when men ruled the land that has nearly forgotten them.
