Central Taur-na-Dúiren

The Secret Squirrels campaign takes place in in Taur-na-Dúiren (The Forest of the Oaks) in Taur-Galen.  The above map shows the location of the Temple-Tree of RATATOSKR at But an Oak in Central Taur-na-Dúiren, to the North-West of Cor-Dúiren.  Nutty Quests may take place in this area and/or may range beyond it.

The following are the main places and people that may be of relevance in Nutty Quests.  The location of places is indicated by the corresponding numbers on the map.  Many Sindar Elves are nomadic hunter / gatherers, so those listed are just the more settled locals and others may be encountered out in the Forest.  The nomads may maintain huts in the settlements, which are usually left open for the use of others whilst they are away.
