Northern forest with an unsettling reputation. Travelers report feeling watched. Trees seem to lean inward. Sounds carry strangely—footsteps from the wrong direction, voices where no one stands.

Some say the forest is haunted. Others say it's just Gyv being Gyv, playing psychological games on visitors. The truth is probably both: the Gyv have cultivated Leering Wood's unsettling atmosphere, but something in these woods was strange long before the Gyv arrived.
