Vesper Timberland

The Vesper Timberland (sometimes written and pronounced "Vasper") is an extremely dark, oppressive, almost unnaturally fast-growing forest in Othanzia near Vasselheim. It is huge and sprawling, going for miles before bleeding into the endless tundra to the north. It is noted for containing many dangerous beasts, which provides no shortage of game for the Slayer's Take to hunt.

History
While on a mission for the Slayer's Take, Grog, Lyra, Percy, Scanlan, Vex'ahlia, and Zahra Hydris traveled through the Vesper Timberland. On their first night camping in the forest near the Glasswalk Road, they were attacked by a group of orc raiders accompanied by an orc-ogre hybrid (an ogrillon) and a dire wolf. The next day, in an area frozen by its proximity to a white dragon's lair, they bypassed a long lake and a series of stone ruins inhabited by a glowing creature they couldn't identify from a distance.

In the aftermath of Vecna's defeat, Sylas Briarwood was last seen fleeing into the forest in his bat form.

When Reani was researching poisonous plants, a book in Uthodurn's Vellum Steeple Archive mentioned something growing in the "Vesperwood" in Issylra.
