Where the willowwood is.


  The Menowood is an old and pristine forest in the southwest of Sunndi, near the border with Idee. The sylvan elves dwelling among the ash and oak trees in the southern part of the woods are not unfriendly, but many of the forest's fey, particularly those in the forest's northern reaches hate mankind with a passion.

The Forest is named after a powerful druid named Sverdras Meno, who dwelled therein centuries ago (and, some claim, still does). 

  The Willowwood is the local area of the southern border from Moon river to the sea.
There is an unusual sub group of wood elf, that live there, who call themselves the
Elder Yon.
they all have black, red, or white hair.

Witches

  In forgotten ages past, in kingdoms unheralded and dead centuries of untold history, a fiery confrontation emerged between witch covens world-wide. The myriad witches of the woodlands and the fields formed an alliance which dominated all other covens. This group forcibly directed the studies of other witches, and great emphasis was placed on the magic of plants and animals, that they might grow stronger still in their respective domains. But there were those who sought darker and more Godly enchantments, pursuing powers of devastation and the very elements. They promised to teach what they learned, to enslave the world of men, and to shape raw power to the ends of witches everywhere. This the alliance would not permit, for power inspires fear, fear of those that have it. Those who allied with the new Secret Coven were cast out, and in time only the mountains offered refuge to the members of this radical coven.

CODEX OF THE INFINITE PLANES: The Tzoonk Fragment.

 "... and thereupon the voice belled forth in tones of hollow iron and spoke of the Coming of the City of the Gods. Such future events interested me not, so I gave the command: 'Answer in th ...' (here the fragment becomes entirely illegible) . . . so knowing both the secret and the spell which would unlock the Way to this horde of the Demon Prince Nql . . . (another break in the writing unfortunately occurs here). . . gathered the nine as required and proceeded forth. With me in addition were the dyoph servants necessary to transport the Codex, for I would not leave it behind on even so perilous a journey as this." (Here the entire fragment ends.) "
