Gwaeldior is a temperate forest of Hells Womb. Beginning north of the Mynzuth Hills, its stretches north to the foothills of Gathol and the Ogre Steps. In the Horgon Era, it was the southern edge of the Nárfaltuin Forest. With the spread of civilizations, it was reduced from logging and farming.

Gwaeldior is claimed by the Celebriäns. This forest is home Kriavfahliil, Forstneblin, centaurs, and many types of fey. This civilized side begins at the river Foronir and west to the Gelugon Range. Beginning on the opposite side of the river all the way to the Mynzuth hills and lake Girâmar is Gwaeldior's wilder part. It is the hunting grounds for unfriendly fey, bands of Pixie, green dragons, and various rebel factions that are always fighting for or against somebody in the area. They could be working for the Council of Bile, Paradomea, Surticon, Celebriän, the Orchish Empire and other smaller groups. The Celebriän do not police the area, they leave it as a buffer state between their sometimes hostile neighbors. As a result, the area became a haven for bandits and other lawless types. Whenever some group gets too big or entrenched, then the Celebriäns come in, or hire a mercenary company, to take them down a notch.

Like Sorrow Pass, this forest is a graveyard, littered with half-buried bones, rusting and rotting implements of war. In the Black Tide War (1465 - 1504), many of forest floor's dead found new purpose. Raised as skeletons, nearly 2,000 joined the Black Tide's growing undead legions. Battling Gwaeldior's natives for passage north, the Black Tide added an equal number of zombies, enemy and their own.
