Blackroot is a small village west of Zarash’ak (following the Glum River). Blackroot is remarkable in that the houses and huts are built on solid ground – not on stilts or piles like most Marcher villages. This is because Blackroot sits atop a hillock of land north of the Glum River. Surrounding the village is a very old grove of darkwood trees, giving the village its name.
Blackroot is home to the Dorrm and Veledaar clans, and until recently a center for a Khyber cult called the Yellow Eye.
