The Kander Forest is a large, murky expanse in the Gavel Province dotted with decayed trees, fungi, and large cobwebs. The forest has experienced ravaging effects of the Decay far worse than the neighboring Dark Forest or the Olux Swamp has, since the very "heart" of the Decay is located in Kander Forest, turning the once-vibrant and beautiful forests into an eldritch wasteland. The forest houses a couple quests and is a good grinding area for level 70 players. The capital of the area is the small, run-down town of Lexdale. Along with sharing its western border with the Dark Forest, the Gylia Plains and Light Forest are connected to the region.

The monsters you face in Kander Forest mainly consist of a variety of beasts likely risen by the Decay, as well as a colorful variety of Weirds and lingering Tueurserie and Chahut. Werewolves, normal people under the lycanthropic curse, are also not an uncommon sight in the woods.

Points of interest

Towns

• Lexdale - The town of Lexdale is a slum-like settlement, which has suffered some of the worst effects of the Decay.

Wynncraft Map

• Dark Forest Village - This small town holds a few peculiar residents, but has nothing else notable about it.

Caves

• Mesquis Tower - Great danger lies atop this tower.
• Kander Crypt - Some say the Old Lexdale crypts here are cursed with the spirits killed in the siege, others say it contains treasure deep inside.
• Mystifying Stump - Find your way through the stump here.
• Flesh Mesh - The tunnels beneath Kander viscera pits here are dark, disgusting, dangerous, and full to bursting of discarded belongings.
• Visceral Remnant - Bodies subjected to grisly stitching and experimentation rejuvenated and rise here, where no one should enter.
• Weirding Ring - Instead of fae spirits, Weirds have congealed in a ring of climbable mushrooms here.

Locations

• Lexdale Penitentiary - A large structure in northwestern Kander Forest, on the border of the Dark Forest. It was built around 800 AP as a prison for Gavel's worst criminals, though recently there have been rumors of innocent citizens being taken a prisoners.
• House of Talor - This grand church has fallen into ruins due to the Decay, though it still continues to provide blessings for Kander Forest.
• Challenge of the Blades - A creature from The Realm of Dern inhabits this Boss Altar surrounded with dozens of blades on a hill. Nothing exists there but pure dark magic.
• Faltach Manor - This large, ruined structure in southwestern Kander Forest was the home of the Faltachs, a family of nobles that had an important role in the Kander Forest's politics.
• The Heart of the Decay - This area is where the Decay has its strongest effects. It was once the stump of a great tree, until the Darkness Parasite had spread the Decay to the area in 800 AP, causing the surrounding life to wither away. The hatchlings of the Parasite are the only living beings that are inside the Heart of Decay.
• Old Lexdale - The ruins of a stone city that has been ravaged and destroyed by the Decay. A research outpost belonging to a certain individual can be found here.

Trivia

• Kander Forest is roughly larger than the Dark Forest, and around the same size as the Olux swamp on the map.
• The area was called "Danker Forest" in the Content Team as a joke before it had an official name.
• The House of Talor, which is in the Kander Forest, was originally meant as a replacement for the Saint's Row cathedral. The design used to be extremely similar.
• The trees in Kander Forest are intended to have their leaf patch placement and shape of said patches vaguely resemble the eyes of Eyeball Forest.
• The main mining resource in the Kander Forest, Kanderstone, is actually Cobalt affected by the Decay.
• If you flip the name of Taga Soihf A Lin around and translate it from Scottish Gaelic, its name is revealed to be "You Don't Know"
  • Killing Taga Soihf A Lin causes a few Rud Dorcha to spawn. Similarly to its parent mob, Rud Dorcha's name translates to "Dark Thing" in Irish Gaelic, although it does not need to be flipped.
  • Killing Taga Soihf A Lin also causes a short obfuscated message to appear on the player's screen briefly, and gives them nausea. It's unknown what this message says, though according to Selvut283 it is useless gibberish.
