Aelwyd Glen lies in mid-northern Eirendor, its dense canopy of ancient trees and gnarled roots giving it a timeless and foreboding presence. A meandering river cuts through the forest, paralleled by an old road that once linked forgotten villages. Few dare travel this way, as the Glen is home to tree-folk and mystical beings that fiercely guard its heart, where a tangled region, known locally as the Crannfuil Hollow, teems with danger. Legends speak of shadowed clearings and hidden paths that lead to the Otherworld, and only the bold or desperate venture into its depths.
