Chetwood North Battle of Five Armies & The Third Age of Middle-Earth The current year for our Middle-Earth campaign is set during the year of 2946 of the Third Age. Inspired By J.R.R. Tolkien

Chetwood North is a large, rugged expanse of the forest situated in the northeastern portion of Bree-land, serving as a boundary between the settled lands around Combe and the desolate, open wildness of the Weather Hills to the east. This section of the wood is notably wilder and more dangerous than its southern counterpart, characterized by dense trees and a terrain that slopes slowly downward toward the precarious bogs of the Midgewater Marshes. While the forest itself is scenic, with many maple trees, its primary nature is untamed wilderness, lacking major settlements or the "tame" feel of the central Bree-land areas.

The isolation and rough terrain of Chetwood North provide refuge for serious dangers, making it a perilous region that even the Rangers of the North sometimes avoid during certain seasons. A major camp of the Blackwold brigands, and even some ruins like Ost Baranor and the Crumbled Court, are hidden within its depths. Reports of unnaturally aggressive wildlife, including wolf dens and spider infestations, are common, and unsettling whispers mention the presence of dark Angmarim warriors using wicked powers deep in the woods. This environment ensures that Chetwood North remains a place of caution for any traveler or local woodcutter from the nearby Combe Lumber Camp.
