Bloodpine Woods

South of Altdorf an outcrop of pine trees grows down the southern face of the magical Amber Hills and spills into the depths of the Reikwald. Called Bloodpine for its deep-maroon wood, the lumber here is greatly desired by the artisans of Altdorf, and is most often used to produce exquisite furniture destined for the high-class markets of Marienburg and Nuln. Recently, bloodpine has become hard to source, for the Bloodpine Woods are plagued by Forest Goblins of the Spiderclaw tribe who’ve managed to tame a handful of swift-moving Giant Spiders. Few dare to work there now, for those attempting to cut the trees simply disappear, their cries echoing from the mists high in the trees before suddenly falling silent. This has, of course, only served to increase the value of bloodpine, which has deeply enraged purchasers, several of whom have taken to hiring mercenaries and private parties to clear the Goblins, figuring it is cheaper to throw bodies at the problem than pay more for their new filing cabinet.
