Peatonbrook Woods

Peatonbrook Woods was a small forest in western Kork which lay just west of the north-south trade roads leading to Hurstvik. It had a soft, mossy floor which silenced almost all footsteps of both predators and prey. This made it an ideal hiding place for those who wished to not be found, especially wandering halflings.
In its deceptively calming center ran a deadly river, placid on surface, but which raged below and dragged down almost all who touched the water. Rumors abounded of angry ghosts or disturbed water elementals, but it was in fact a natural phenomenon, deadly nonetheless.
Many folk took shelter in Peatonbrook over the centuries, from refugees to criminals. In the mid-9th century of the Age of the Virgin Lands, members of the Order of Iludin attempted to burn it, but were always driven away by an uncanny fear. It was later claimed by the bandit gang known as the Dirt Road Stranglers.
