Spiritwood

Description
Spiritwood lies east of Skara Brae and west of Paws. Spiritwood is not only known for its growth of the rare and expensive reagent nightshade, but is also famously infested with dangerous reapers. Even wisps have been spotted on occasion, eerily pulsing in the shrouded forest. In a small mountain south of Spiritwood lies the Spirit Tunnels.

In Ultima V, a waterfall in Spiritwood marks the beginning of Lord British's journey to the Underworld, and the Avatar can choose to follow this route in search of Lord British's Amulet. The river that feeds into this waterfall is called River Maelstrom and acts as the eastern border of Spiritwood. Where it terminates into the sea, the Valarian Islands are found.

In The Ultima 6 Project, Shamino suggests that the spirits of dead rangers haunt the forest.

Nightshade can no longer be found there in Ultima VII.

Trivia

 * During map-creation for Ultima VII, Spiritwood was shrunk too much, in the end barely counting as a forested area. This was due to the need to deform the continent to so that more mountains could be created to house dungeons.
