The Cold Wood was a forest on the edge of the Silver Marches.
It was located between the Spine of the World, Rauvin Mountains, and Ice Mountains. A wild place, the Cold Wood was largely untouched by civilization; most woodcutters and homesteaders avoided it.
The forest was full of pine, birch, and spruce trees.
Snow tigers, orcs, ettins, and a bebilith have been known to roam the Cold Wood. The Uthgardt barbarians hunted in the area, but would not cut any living tree or kept fires to a minimum to protect the forest. The Red Tiger Tribe considered the northern part of the wood their territory. Several bands of outcasts from Uthgardt society were known to live around the area as well.

The Moonwood was a large forest north of Silverymoon in the Silver Marches. By about 1460 DR, it was known as the Glimmerwood, although the elves still referred to it as the Moonwood.
The Moonwood was located between Silverymoon and Mithral Hall and was bound by the River Surbrin to the west and the River Redrun to the northeast. Directly to the north of the Moonwood was the Druarwood; across the Redrun were the Night Trees forest groves and, beyond them, the Coldwood.
The Moonwood was dominated by evergreens, shadowtops, and duskwoods.
Although the Moonwood was known to be free of orcs and other goblinkind, orc tribes frequently raided the outer edges of the forest for lumber. The forest was known to be the haunt of many lycanthropes, primarily in the northern reaches. Many of these lycanthropes were members of the People of the Black Blood, while others were members of the Eldreth Veluuthra. As of 1374 DR, the two organizations often clashed, and the greater number and superior organization of the People of the Black Blood meant the odds were in their favor. The southern section of the Moonwood was home to small bands of moon elves.

Quaervarr (also spelled Quaervaar) was a small woodland town in the Silver Marches located in the southern part of the Moonwood near Herald's Holdfast.
History
Quaervarr started out as a logging camp, but grew to be a small town that both tended and logged the trees of the Moonwood with great care.
Rumors
In Silverymoon it is joked that Quaervarr is valuable in the alliance just to preserve its fine inn, the Whistling Stag.
Druarwood was a forest west of Cold Wood and northeast of the Moonwood.
The wood was also the water source of River Redrun.

Beorunna's Well was a large settlement of the barbarians of theBlack Lion Tribe.
Structure
Members of the tribe live in modest houses around the deep pit that once contained the ancestral mound. At the bottom of the pit dwell Underdark monsters that the barbarians fear.
Relationships
The town often traded with the dwarves of Citadel Felbarr, to whom they were connected by a trade route.
History
Legend says that Beorunna, the father of Uthgar, defeated the demon Zukothoth at the ancestral mound, causing it to sink into the earth.
In 1372 DR, the Uthgardt tribes of Black Lion and Red Tiger considered Beorunna's Well their ancestral mound.
Organization It was within the Black Lion community of huts and long houses, the tribe found some contentment living as farmers and herders of livestock. Forsaking their barbaric heritage, their agricultural advancement allowed the tribe to become a source of trade in the region.
