Making up a majority of the territory, the Forest of Ancient Oaks is a massive old-growth deciduous forest where towering oak trees stretch skyward, their thick, knotted trunks standing like guardians over the creatures who live there. The trees' vast canopies create a near-constant shade, casting deep shadows over the forest floor. Beneath them, dense undergrowth of thorny brambles, ferns, and creeping ivy makes the forest difficult to traverse for most. Skillfully weaving through the tangled foliage and climbing the mighty oaks with practiced ease, the Tribe of Swooping Talons calls this forest their home. In the shadows of the forest, they find both protection and peace.
