Spiderhaunt Woods

Spiderhaunt Woods is a canonical Forest / Woodland located in the Kingdom of Cormyr, prominently surveyed on the regional map spanning From Sunset to Sembia.

Overview & Canon History

The North Ride runs just south of the woods, and the Tethyamar Trail runs the whole eastern border of the wood. A single trail, the Arachnid Pathway, leads from the Tethyamar Trail into the heart of the wood. The Spiderhaunt Wood is, of course, inhabited by spiders of all known types, as well as ettercaps and chitines. Spellcasters of all types come to the Spiderhaunt Woods to gather spider-related spell components or to collecting rare venoms. A large number of fey crossings means that it is easy to accidentally pass into the Feywild while deep within Spiderhaunt.
