Darklight Wood

               == Geography == 
Darklight Wood is a relatively small zone, with a large open central area based around {{POI|Smoldering Lake}} and {{POI|Nightshadow Rise}}.  Several smaller valleys extend in all directions from this central area, each with unique terrain features.  When compared to the larger [[Nektulos Forest]], Darklight Wood is better lit and has less obstacles, but is just as densely populated with creatures.

=== Travel ===
Darklight Wood is a relatively small zone and has no griffon routes.  There's a connection to [[The Commonlands]] in the middle of the zone on the south side, and a connection to [[Nektulos Forest]] at the far west end.

At the {{POI|Shadow Oak}} is a griffon ride that will take you to [[Butcherblock Mountains]].

Boat travel to lands accessible by sea is available from the {{POI|Dockside Markets}} inside [[Neriak, City of Hate]].

=== City ===
This is the starting zone for all [[:Category:Arasai (Character Race)|Arasai]].  Newly created [[:Category:Dark Elf (Character Race)|Dark Elves]], [[:Category:Iksar (Character Race)|Iksar]], [[:Category:Ogre (Character Race)|Ogres]], [[:Category:Ratonga (Character Race)|Ratonga]], and [[:Category:Troll (Character Race)|Trolls]] can also choose to start in this zone.

It is very easy for characters from [[Freeport]] and [[Gorowyn]] to travel to Darklight Wood to quest here.  Characters from these cities can easily [[Citizenship Timeline|change citizenship to Neriak]] if they wish to make this their home.
