The Ashroot Forest

Introduction

The aptly named Ashroot Forest lies a little over two weeks northwest of Spur Harbor. Primarily a deciduous forest, it stretches along the base of a mountain range for about 120 miles, though rarely extends more than 20 miles from the mountains.

Due to the influence of the druid Savas, the forest has a number of strange qualities. There is always a faint smell of woodsmoke in the air, no matter where you are in the forest. As you get closer to the grove where Savas typically resides, the oddities just get stronger. The woodsmoke smell gets sharper, and smoke begins to drift through the trees like fog. The temperature rises like you are ever-so-slowly approaching a distance coal stove.

Within Savas’ grove itself, the trees run with the veins of glowing coal, emitting the burnt ember light of a dying fire.

Savas is deeply connected to the forest, and knows instinctively whenever a creature not native to the forest enters his domain.

Abandoned Dwarven Mine

At the behest of Savas, the party cleared a powerful salamander named Rhall and his forces from an abandoned dwarven mine near the edge of Savas' forest. The mine contained a magma-fed forge where Rhall appeared to be doing some unknown work. Savas expressed little interest in the forge at the time.
