The Bramble

A forest that grows so thick as one travels to the West that the leaves overhead block out the sun. Towns tend to pop up at its outskirts for easy access to wood; villages that attempt to settle further in never seem to last more than a season."""'Oren knows that the Bramble twists and corrupts what life is found in it. Anything that lives in a forest may appear, deformed and mutated by magic beyond imagining'"""The Bramble is unsafe to live in for humans, but apparently the elves live there. Dwarves live beyond The Bramble, in the western mountains.
