Fenridge Thicket is a mature, naturally tangled forest near Baldur's Gate, notable for its dense growth of tall hardwoods and thick underbrush. Wildlife here is common but shy; no magical or unnatural elements disturb its quiet wilderness. The terrain is uneven, with fallen logs and natural clearings often hidden beneath overgrowth.
A missing hunter’s trail leads into the thicket, where something unseen watches from the shadows.
You enter a dense forest where towering oaks and ash trees crowd together, their thick canopies filtering sunlight into mottled patterns on the leafy floor. The air hums softly with the rustle of animals darting through the underbrush.
