A vast and very ancient forest, south of Negav city and the Ascarlin moutains. As it's name suggests, it's now home to several large tribes of dridders.
Many great trees of the area have white trunks and seems petrified, as if some unseen force was literally sucking the life from them. The tree limbs and canopy are thick with webs, obscuring what little light makes its way through the tree tops. As such, the forest is a very dark place and it lends to it's gloomy atmosphere. The forest borders a swamp on it's eastern edge, which causes the ground to become moldy anduneven and the air humid and oppressing in that region. It should be noted that this area has the least concentration of Dridders, as they prefer to dwell underground and the damp soil makes tunneling nearly impossible.
Traveling through the forest is very dangerous. Even if you were able to avoid all the giant dridders, the forest holds many other deadly creatures and natural traps. Massive spiders, monstrous worms and various carnivorous plants inhabit the place. Furthermore, the areas that are the most free of vegetation tend to be the most dangerous, as they are frequently filled with webs intended to trap hapless victims. This forces many people to chose the more overgrown paths through the forest, which slows travel and increases the likelihood you will run into trouble.
The swampy region likewise has its own perils. Many insects, such as , inhabit this area as there is less webbing. Quick mud is another danger, sucking many unwary travelers to their doom.
Beneath the forest, spreads a complex system of caves and tunnels. Some are natural, and some are not. The Dridders inhabit this complex, traps ridden labyrinth, using it not only as their main home but also as a means of quickly moving from one area to the next, often with the purpose of surprising victims passing through the woods. Indeed, travelers are advised to avoid any cave entrance at all costs.
It should be noted that Naxyla Dridders tend to avoid the forest if possible, as they dislike the company of their more warlike cousins.
There is a rumor that somewhere, deep within the forest, stand a majestic mansion. The structure is beautiful and its quiet garden make a striking contrast with the eerie air of the surroundings.
A magical force field forbid the access to the mansion and its incredible power leads many to wonder who exactly inhabit the place.
The local dridders frown when they look at it or ignore it, adding even more mystery.
