Ecology

[edit | edit source]

Flora

[edit | edit source]

"The small woodland is a major resource for Furyondy, which makes extensive use of its timber. Good-quality ipp, yarpick, and bronzewood are brought out steadily."[1]

Fauna

[edit | edit source]

"Game is still plentiful.... Black bears, wild dogs, poisonous snakes, and giant porcupines are the only real threats."[1]

Geography

[edit | edit source]

The Dapple Wood lies across both sides of the Velverdyva River about midway between Dyvers and Veluna City, roughly 100 miles north-northeats of Verbobonc.[2]

History

[edit | edit source]

"Bugbears once roamed [the Dapplewood], but have not been seen [since 581 CY] after rangers, knights, and militiamen hunted them without mercy."[1]

Features and settlements

[edit | edit source]

"Ships on the Velverdyva often put in at small, free spirited shore villages in the woods at night, if they don't stop at the port of Kisail upriver."[1]

Inhabitants

[edit | edit source]

The forest is home to some 800 woodsmen, loggers, hunters, and trappers. There are also some 300 militia troops stationed there.[citation needed]
