The extent of the Welkwood is obvious to the observer,
ofr its limits are easily defined by its growth.
The majesty of the huge trees of the forest is apparent,
for they tower over their neighbors in the Suss below and the Gnarley to the west and north.
Ipt grows to heights of 100 feet and more,
while the mighty roanwoods are taller still.
Even the locusts<*>, elders, maples,
and the like grow to unusual size,
so that the whole thing is most imposing.
The eastern portion of the woodland is part of the Wild Coast,
and many of its folk reside within the shelter of the forest;
the Welkwood west of the Jewel River is within the realm of Celene and home to elves and faerie creatures of all sorts,
as well as unicorns.
The woodsmen of the Welkwood are brave and sturdy,
well renowned throughout the land as huntsmen,
trackers,
and bold adventurers.
