The trackless wastes of the Burneal Forest stretch for
over a thousand miles, from just beyond the shore of
the Dramidj Ocean to the bogs of Blackmoor.
This huge and sprawling forest of pines and first is nowhere
less than 100 miles broad, and in place over 200.
Beneath these woodlands are the prairies of the Tiger
and Wolf Nomads, and these fearless horsemen
often
roam the Burneal seeking sport. They do so at peril,
however, for little-known savages dwell in this vastness,
and they lurk amidst thick trunks to attack
by stealth and surprise. Reports
state that these tribes
of hunters are humans, aboriginal Flannae
people,
who live in small huts of green boughs in the
summer and in burrows dug into the ground in the
cold months. They by means of pits, snares, and
with bow and spear, using huge wolf-dogs to locate
and corner or bring down prey. Such inhabitants
would have to be tough and strong in the extreme in
order to survive the harsh temperatures of winters in
the Burneal and live amongst the creatures who also
dwell therein.

Quote:
Being a big fan of the under
used Bugbear I was wondering did you ever plan or do any adventures in
the Burneal Forest in the far north with the Blue furred ones mentioned
in the original folio. Also dd you ever stick any kind of lost keeps, castles,
dungeons and or civilizations there as well.

Nope, I stayed well away
from the woodland as folks there couldn't find a decent drink with both
hands
Seriously, my players PCs never got there for any serious exploration, so it is a wilderness.
Cheers,
