The forest was made of cedar trees which were the source of Ubaryd's fame as ship-builders. The forest had once covered both sides of the river, but had been overharvested by the Ubari on the northern side and close to the city. The forest itself contained a T'lan Imass graveyard of sorts which consisted of petrified trees interspersed with the living vegetation. Cairns made of boulders topped with totemic skulls marked the sites where the T'lan Imass fought ancient battles against their Jaghut foes.
