A dark forest at the southwest tip of Chaal Nazzerox, home to a coven of hags who terrorize the surrounding waters. The hags were here before the empire—they welcomed Xynoth's rise, seeing opportunity in chaos, and have carved out a domain within his domain.
The relationship between the lich king and the Hagswood coven is unclear. They're not his servants; hags answer to no one. But they're not his enemies either. Some arrangement exists—territorial, transactional, or simply mutual disinterest. The hags get their hunting grounds; Xynoth gets whatever the hags provide in exchange.
The forest itself is perpetually dim, its canopy blocking even midday sun. Paths shift between visits. Travelers who enter without hag permission rarely leave at all.
