The Maps of Myrist

Nestled between East Commonlands and the fiery mountain range of Lavastorm, the Nektulos Forest is relatively small in comparison to its surrounding regions.

This dark, dank woodland is the surface territory of the Teir`Dal, whose city lies beneath the forest. Thick, twisted trees reach up from the grassy earth and then disappear into the eternal shroud of heavy mist that drapes over this dreary woodland.

A narrow, winding road has been carved through the forest, bending its way from the pass leading to East Commonlands and winding westward, at last ending at the gray valley that reaches into the fiery peaks of Lavastorm. At one point, the road comes to a wood bridge guarded by the Teir`Dal dragoons of the Indigo Brotherhood – Neriak's warriors loyal to the Teir`Dal king, Naythox. Beyond the bridge, the road branches northward toward the rocky pass that dives downward into the subterranean city of Neriak.

A large river filled with deadly piranha runs through the center of Nektulos forest. Unfortunately, the only safe point of crossing is heavily guarded by the ferocious Teir`Dal guardsmen.

Many creatures call these woodlands home – those of natural origin and undead constructs of the Teir`Dal alike. Black wolves, bears and young kodiaks are found in abundance here, striving for survival amongst the unseen taint of corruption that lurks in the very shadows of the woods. Skeletal remains, cursed to forever wander the face of Norrath, roam the Nektulos Forest en masse – emblematic of the true darkness that exists just beneath the forest floor.
