At a Glance

The High Forest is a large forest of the Sword Coast North.

Described thus on Candlekeep, by The Hooded One:

I think of the High Forest this way: that mossy Hoh rainforest shot [this] is like some of the forest around the Unicorn Run (in other places, it looks lore like the “rainforest autumn 15” pic a few clicks on the left arrow away from the Hoh shot [this]). The western border of the forest is like Sherwood Forest (big old oaks, dense bush, saplings growing where big trees have fallen), but shifts to redwood-like [but NOT redwoods; see the trees of the Realms in the gold box Realms boxed set] “tall trees” in the northwestern corner (Woods of Turlang”). As you head east across the top of the High Forest, you get more and more conifers – – and more and more exposed rock and hilly terrain (think Canadian Shieldcottage country” forest). The eastern border of the High Forest is dominated by conifers, but as the verges turn southwest along the Delimbiyr, more and more hardwoods mix in.
Most of the center of the High Forest is wooded ridge-type mountains like the Blue Ridge Mountains or the Appalachians in Pennsylvania, but here and there some sharp, bare peaks (the Star Mounts) thrust up out of the “endless” trees.
